Adv Simulation Preview

[WalkerRA]

Overall this seems like a nice package. Here are a couple of initial comments:

1. So far the tutorials are well written and easy to follow.

2. The browser nodes sort by alpha and screw up the logical order. For example: Force1, Force11, Force2 ...

3. Spaceball support needed!

4. It would be very nice to pick direction vectors for forces using geometry. Looks like only components are accepted.

5. Solution speed is excellent.

You can pick faces on components (parts) for force direction. Right now,
only parts are supported. However, you can go to
http://labs.autodesk.com and download the free technology preview that
supports some assembly analysis.

Edit (activate) the part to be analyzed and select a face to be used for
force direction. Alternatively, if you need to localize an area on a large
face, you can split that face by sketching on the face and using the sketch
as the split tool.

Sorry, I missed that you were already on the advanced sim preview. Only got
3 hrs sleep last night- family emergency.
