Working with ENOVIA VPM

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).
