Playback Controls (Toolbar)¶

The playback controls on the toolbar control execution of the current event during Event mode, and control replay during Playback mode. The following controls are available, in toolbar order:

Reset¶

Initializes the physics program and places the simulation at its starting conditions.

Rewind¶

Places the simulation at the starting position.

Reverse¶

Plays the simulation backwards.

Pause¶

Pauses the simulation.

Play¶

Starts (or resumes) the simulation.

Advance to End¶

Places the current simulation state at the end of the simulation.

Max Sim Time¶

Displays the maximum simulation time, i.e., the time at which the simulation will terminate.

Integration Time Step¶

Displays the time step used by the calculation method's numerical integration.

Output Time Interval¶

Displays the time interval at which output results (and playback frames) are produced.

Current Time¶

Displays the current simulation time.

Frame No¶

Displays the number of the frame currently being displayed.

Time Slider¶

A slider used to set the current simulation/playback time directly; drag it to move to any point in the event.
