What does the tool do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The physics simulation<\/em> tool enables you to do physics simulation in your scene, and record it as Keyframe animations.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use Physics Simulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Launch the Physics Simulation<\/em> tool<\/strong>
    The Physics Simulation<\/em> tool can be launched either from the Tools<\/em> Section in the Ribbon, or via right-click on a model or part in the scene tree or Real-time view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select a part or model<\/strong>
    In the scene tree list to the right, select which parts or models should be included in the simulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Simulation Time<\/strong>
    This allows you to determine how long the simulation is going to last. Note that if your simulation time is 0 the animation will run until everything is settled. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Keyframes per Second<\/strong>
    You can adjust how many Keyframes per second your Keyframe animation should contain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Simulation Quality<\/strong>
    This allows you to control how many steps per second are calculated. By increasing this your simulation becomes more accurate, but it will also take longer to calculate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Adjust the Gravity<\/strong>
    You can set your gravity to a value between 0 and 100.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Friction<\/strong>
    Allows you to globally control the static and dynamic friction on all objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Bounciness<\/strong>
    Allows you to globally control how bouncy objects are, when colliding with other objects or the ground. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. As Parts<\/strong>
    As Parts allows you settle the parts of your model individually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Begin Simulation\/Stop Simulation<\/strong>
    If you have made all the adjustments above, you can click Begin Simulation. You can also stop the simulation clicking the same button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Animation Timeline<\/strong>
    In the simplified     animation timeline<\/a> you can see and re-run the created Keyframe animations. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. OK or Cancel<\/strong><\/strong>
    To finalize the changes to the scene and close the dialog, click OK. Cancel<\/em> will revert all changes and exit the dialog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
