Recording a Simulation

Before starting this scenario, you should have created a shuttle as described in the previous steps.
This task explains how to define the motion of a shuttle quickly and how to record it in a simulation object.
  1. Select Shuttle.1 in the specification tree.

  2. Select Insert > Simulation I_TestandTryP2.gif (306 bytes).

    The 3D compass automatically positions according to the shuttle axis.
    The Edit Simulation dialog box and the Preview window appear. You are ready to record a simulation.
    You can now record a simulation with an animated viewpoint. For this, select the Animate viewpoint check box. For more details, please refer to Animating a Viewpoint.
    The first shot: shuttle in the origin position is already recorded in the simulation.
  3. Select the manipulator to move the shuttle as desired.

  4. Drag the cursor to the desired shuttle location.

  5. Click Insert to save and insert in the simulation the shuttle in the new position.

  6. Insert another location in the same manner:

    You can select and drag all the components of the manipulator (axis, plane, arc, point) to move in different ways.
  7. You can do several manipulations before inserting a new position in the simulation.

  8. Click OK to end the simulation creation.

    The simulation is identified in the specification tree.
