How do I start and stop the SolidWorks Simulation from LabVIEW?
SolidWorks simulations start when the NI Scan Engine mode switches from Configuration mode to Active mode and stop when the NI Scan Engine switches from Active mode to Configuration mode. Starting a SolidWorks Simulation After you add a SolidWorks assembly to the Project you can only start the SolidWorks simulation using LabVIEW, not by clicking the Calculate button in SolidWorks. You can start the SolidWorks simulation in one of the following ways: 1.) Deploy an NI SoftMotion resource either for the first time or with updated information. You can deploy all resources at the same time by clicking each resource while pressing
