Flight Simulation

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifThe Perspective view function from the View toolset below can be used to check the interior information and results of a 3D model.

 

Methodology

Dynamic view (Pre / Post processing)

 

For the Perspective view function, the checking positions need to be checked directly using a mouse, but to automatically simulate it along a particular guideline, the 'Flight simulation' function can be used.

The guideline can be selected from a line or repeating line(wire), and the model interior can be checked along the selected line. This function is available for both before/after analysis.

 

Select the guideline. Directly draw the path in the model interior, or select a sub-shape line of an existing geometry shape.

Selecting the line instantly displays an arrow in the processing direction, and the direction can be changed using the opposite direction option.

The simulation operates using Start, Stop, End buttons and selecting the Record button saves the simulation as a video file.

 

Control

Control the process speed using a scroll bar.

In particular, the (Progress/Rewind) button is activated at the Stop state and the model interior results can be checked by moving back and forth along the guide line. The currently viewed model can also be zoomed in/out.

 

Rotate

The view perspective can be rotated Left/Right/Top/Bottom as it moves along the guideline and can be moved (offset) with respect to the guideline. Hence, the information can still be checked when the guideline position is different from the target position by using the rotate/move operations.

All buttons during the flight simulation can be used as the following shortcut keys, and can be checked from the Tooltips of each button.
