Simulate Motor command
Use the Simulate Motor command (Home tab→Motors group→Simulate Motor) to display a kinematic simulation of motion in an assembly. You use motor features to define how a set of interrelated parts will move. This is useful when working with assemblies that contain crankshafts, gears, pulleys, and hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.
Press F5 to replay the animation.
When you click the Simulate Motor command, the Motor Group Properties dialog box is displayed so you can specify which motors you want to use, the default duration, and other similar options. When you click OK, the Animation Editor is displayed so you can run the simulation. To run the simulation, click the Play button.
The Simulate Motor command contains a subset of the Animation Editor functionality. To access the full functionality of the Animation Editor, use the Animation Editor command in the Explode-Render-Animate application (Tools tab→Environs group→ERA).
