Dynamics menu (MD17+)
Before you run a Dynamics model, you should first:
1.Open the Dynamics Briefcase FB - see Dynamics Briefcase FB.
2.Click Rebuild Dynamics - see Rebuild Dynamics
Run Dynamics / Pause Dynamics & Home Dynamics Buttons
When the dynamics model is running, the Parts in the graphics-area move with dynamics response.
Note:
The Run menu > Cycle button runs the kinematic motion-command only, as controlled by the Kinematics FBs.
When all of the wires are connected, and parameters have been entered into the different dialogs, you can Run, Pause, and Reset (Home) the Dynamics model.
When you click the model:
•the button changes to
The model will begin to move the kinematic-chain with the motion of the dynamic-response.
You cannot open any other dialog.
•the button is active
•the button is active
•the View menu and toolbar are active
•all other menus and toolbars are not active
To Run or Pause the Dynamics model
The and the buttons have two states:
|
|
|
State 1: The dynamics model is ready to run. The model is at or at To run the dynamics model: 1.Click the button |
|
State 2: The dynamics model is running. You can pause (stop) the dynamics model at or reset to To Pause at 1.Click the button The model is now in State 1. or To stop the dynamics model and reset it to 1.Click the button The model is now in State 1. |
To reset the dynamics model to the Home Position.
To Home the dynamics model to reset and the Master Machine Angle to . You can only reset the dynamics model to if the model is running. |
|
|
If the dynamics model is in State 1: 1.Click the button 2.Click the button |
|
If the dynamics model is in State 2: 1.Click the button |
To stop the model
You can stop the model at when the dynamics model is running. |
