      When working with Kinematics Simulator in an ENOVIA VPM 
     context, there are a few circumstances under which Kinematics data can not 
     be created nor correctly saved in ENOVIA VPM.  
     More specifically, some Kinematics commands are unavailable 
     and therefore grayed when Kinematics data can not be created nor saved in 
     explode mode: 
      
     On the contrary, all commands are available when working on publication 
     exposed documents (i.e. documents defined and saved as workpackages). 
     Please find below the list of the DMU Kinematics commands 
     along with their accessibility status in ENOVIA VPM when working in Explode 
     mode (i.e. when you open a PRC saved in Explode mode).
