TIP You can click the Screen Refresh button to turn off screen refresh during the
simulation. The simulation runs, but there is no graphic representation.
Before you run the simulation, increase the simulation Final Time value.
Run a simulation
1 On the Simulation Panel, in the Final Time field, enter 10 s.
2 Click Run on the Simulation Panel.
The Door component moves, with acceleration and deceleration in
response to the force of gravity and the inertia of the part.
NOTE The direction of gravity has nothing to do with any external notion
of up or down, but is set according to the specified vector. Because we have
not yet specified any frictional or damping forces, the mechanism is lossless.
The angle of the arc through which the Door component swings remains the
same, regardless of how long the simulation runs.
3 If the simulation is still running, click the Stop button on the simulation
panel.
4 Click the Activate construction mode button.
