Defining a Shuttle Motion Using Another Shuttle as Reference

This task shows how to define a shuttle motion using another shuttle as reference.

Open the SHUTTLE_REFERENCE.CATProduct document.
This task assumes that you have decided to dismount the Starthandle. You have created two shuttles:

For more details, please refer to Defining a Shuttle.

Double-click the Startinghandle-Shuttle in the specification tree.

The Preview window, Manipulation toolbar, and Edit Shuttle dialog box appear.
Select the Reference box from the Edit Shuttle dialog box, then select Startinghouse-Shuttle in the specification tree.
Click OK.

The Starthandle-Shuttle is now listed as a child node of the Starthouse-Shuttle.
Multi-select Starthandle-Shuttle and Startinghouse-Shuttle either in the specification tree or in the geometry area.
From the menu bar, select Insert > Simulation.

The Preview window, Manipulation toolbar, and Edit Simulation dialog box appear.
Select Starthandle-Shuttle on the specification tree and click the Insert button on the Edit Simulation dialog.

Select Startinghouse-Shuttle and select the OK button to end your simulation recording.



The Starthandle-Shuttle and Startinghouse-Shuttle motions are synchronized. The Startinghouse-Shuttle moves relatively to the Starthandle-Shuttle.

Note that when you define a reference shuttle in this manner the specification tree is updated as if you had defined a shuttle made of shuttles.
