Duplicate scene in multiple simulation cases

JohnnyOnTheSpot · August 5, 2015, 01:41

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to automate scene creation between multiple simulations.

In my case, I have multiple simulations of the same assembly, just with one component's position slightly changed. I would like to be able to set up my scene in one simulation, and apply it to all cases to speed up my post-processing time.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

You should be able to this if the naming is the same for the ingoing parts in the scene (parts, regions, derived parts etc..), if you have both cases opened at the same time, you should be able to just copy and past the scene into the other simulation case. Hope that this works for you!

Oh wow... I wish I knew I could do that earlier.

You've saved me hours of tedious work!

FYI: You can copy just about everything that way. Not just scenes.

Also, a more direct and editable approach would be to use macros. Simply record the creation of one, then run the macro in the rest. Easy as pi.
