To create a simulation the first step is to convert 3D design to solid parts that can be physically simulated. This can be done either manually by selecting the parts and converting them to solids, or by clicking on Auto Detect Solids which will automatically detect the objects in the scene and convert them to solids.
Keep in mind that the first step in every simulation project is to define and create solids from the original geometries of a 3D model.
Solids Editing panel includes the following functionalities, as shown in the image below:
Auto Detect Solids
Solid Creation
Appearance
The Geometries Tree and the Models Library are associated with the Solids Tab. Once the Solids Tab is activated, they will be displayed on the left-side and bottom of the application window, respectively.
Solids detection or creation is considered as a transitional stage, therefore, Solids and Links properties are not editable while you are activating the solids menu.
