Simulation Options : Display Tab

Access: Invoke the Machine or Material Removal Simulator and select Simulation Options from the Simulator Guide.

Control all the parameters and behavior of the simulation mechanism.

The Display tab contains parameters that affect the display of the objects used in the simulation.

Animation behavior

Set the required animation behavior:

Tool Stationary

The Tool is fixed in place; the Machine and Part rotate around it.

Part Stationary

The Part is fixed in place; the Machine and Tool rotate around it.

Machine Stationary

The Machine is fixed and the Part and Tool move -depending on the machine configuration. This is the normal state.

These options also appear in the Immediate Simulation Buttons toolbar.

Select objects to hide and ignore

Select the objects which are to be hidden and ignored in the simulation.
This option is currently not active.

Select objects to show and use

Select the objects which are to be displayed and used in the simulation.
This option is currently not active.

Angle diff. above (deg.)

Display the edges of sharp corners where the angle is over the defined value. This can be used to visually check for sharp angles and also to improve clarity.

This is similar to displaying or hiding edges, except that here you can define the angle above which the edges are displayed.
Examples:Examples:

Angle diff. above (deg.) = 15
Display edges where the angle of the edge is over 15 degrees:

Angle diff. above (deg.) = 65
Display edges where the angle of the edge is over 65 degrees:

 

Use detailed procedure names

Select this checkbox to display detailed (long) procedure names. Whenever a procedure name is displayed, it can be as a short name or as a long name.

In the Simulator, procedure names are displayed in the following places:

At the top of the Simulation Control dialog.

At the upper section of Motions List dialog.

At the upper section of Simulation Report dialog.

At the saved file that contains the information displayed at the Simulation Report dialog.
