Simulation Menu

Virtual Machine can be nearly completely controlled from the Simulation menu bar selection.

It is only available in the GENER and CERUN Full interface if “Enable Material Removal Simulation” and/or “Enable Virtual Machine Simulation” settings are selected in the launch panel VM tab.

The following items are available, listed as they appear in the Simulation menu:

Virtual Machine	Toggles the display of the Virtual Machine simulation windows (CERUN & GENER only)
Controller	Toggles the display of the Controller window (CERUN & GENER only)
Manager	Toggles the display of the Simulation Manager window
Mode	Sets the primary activity of the mouse, and toggles MRS functions (CERUN & GENER only)
Parts/Fixtures	Provides the ability to add parts and fixtures to the simulation (CERUN & GENER only)
Tools/Holders/Heads	Provides the ability to add tools and holders to the simulation, and to select the active head (CERUN & GENER only)
Construct Entity	Provides the ability to add physical entities to the model (QUEST only)
Construct Axis	Provides the ability to add axes to the model (QUEST only)
Camera	Controls various aspects of camera positioning
Show	Toggles the display of various visual aids
Measure	Provides the ability to take measurements between selected objects
Annotation	Provides simulation window markup, snapshot and recording functions
Use World CS	Toggles between world and local display/placement of objects (QUEST only)
Group Selection	Toggles between individual and grouped object selection (QUEST only)
Selection	Provides the ability to show or hide physical entities
Grid	Activates the Grid dialog, which defines the boundaries and appearance of the world
Lights	Activates the Lights dialog, which controls illumination of the simulation
Material	Activates the Material dialog, which defines material visual properties
Display	Activates the Display dialog, which defines HUD “heads-up” display settings
Statistics	Activates the Statistics dialog, which provides information about all components in the simulation
Chip and Split	Activates the “Stock splitting management” dialog, which provides functions to segment the in-process stock
Compare	Activates the Compare dialog, which defines settings used when comparing in-process stock vs design part
Options	Activates the Options dialog, which defines various simulation settings
Open Setup	Selects the Verification Setup (.vsw) file to use for the simulation (CERUN & GENER only)
Save Setup	Saves the current simulation setup (CERUN & GENER only)
