So I went to "dynamic simulation" but the "force" button is grayed out. Can someone help me with this ? Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, I'm a bit new to Inventor.</P><P>Thanks in advance !</P> Sat, 18 Apr 2020 13:05:32 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/force-button-grayed-out-in-dynamic-simulation/m-p/9452708#M146845 Anonymous 2020-04-18T13:05:32Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/force-button-grayed-out-in-dynamic-simulation/m-p/9452744#M146846 <P>You will have to stop your Simulation Player and go to Construction Mode.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Simulation Player.PNG" style="width: 96px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/756414i75E64FEF9A9A9A09/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Simulation Player.PNG" alt="Simulation Player.PNG" /></span></P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Connstruction Mode.png" style="width: 304px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/756418iC590AF8A71B18B37/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Connstruction Mode.png" alt="Connstruction Mode.png" /></span></P> <P>Attach your assembly here.</P> Sat, 18 Apr 2020 13:37:14 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/force-button-grayed-out-in-dynamic-simulation/m-p/9452744#M146846 JDMather 2020-04-18T13:37:14Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/force-button-grayed-out-in-dynamic-simulation/m-p/9452763#M146847 <P>Thanks !
