Play back a simulation
Description
This sample plays back an existing dynamic simulation.Code Samples
To run this sample you must have an active document that has a valid simulation defined.
Sub PlaySimulation() ' Get the active document. This assumes it is an assembly. Dim asmDoc As AssemblyDocument Set asmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument ' The Dynamic Simulation environment must be active. Dim UIManager As UserInterfaceManager Set UIManager = ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager If UIManager.ActiveEnvironment.InternalName <> "DynamicSimulationEnvironmentInternalName" Then ' Get the environment manager. Dim environmentMgr As EnvironmentManager Set environmentMgr = asmDoc.EnvironmentManager Dim dsEnv As Environment Set dsEnv = UIManager.Environments.Item("DynamicSimulationEnvironmentInternalName") Call environmentMgr.SetCurrentEnvironment(dsEnv) End If ' Get the simulation manager from the assembly. Dim simManager As SimulationManager Set simManager = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition.SimulationManager ' Get the first simulation. Currently there is only ever one. Dim sim As DynamicSimulation Set sim = simManager.DynamicSimulations.Item(1) ' Check to see if the simulation has already been computed. If sim.LastComputedTimeStep < sim.NumberOfTimeSteps Then ' Compute the simulation, which will also play it. sim.ComputeSimulation Else ' Play the computed simulation. sim.PlaySimulation End If End Sub
