Change velocity along a straight line

To change the velocity along a straight line:

1.The velocity along a straight line is represented by a line in the V diagram (velocity diagram).

Select the line. The mouse pointer shows the direction in which you can move the line.

2.Move the line with drag&drop to the new position. The S diagram (distance diagram) is automatically adjusted.

or

1.Double-click the straight line. The Straight Line Properties window appears.

2.Enter the new velocity in the Dynamic response tab and click OK. The line in the V diagram (velocity diagram) is shown at the new position. The S diagram (distance diagram) is automatically adjusted.

Notice

To specify an absolute slave velocity, you must select an absolute master velocity for calculations in the Simulation Settings window.
