Realistic 3D view window

This window can be opened by clicking on the toolbar button. The realistic 3d view will be applied to the active view, whether it is a model or a simulation.
This window provides a realistic 3D view of all the active objects contained in your model or your simulation. Objects cannot be directly added to this view, only through the standard 3D view.
When opening the realistic 3D view, the zoom level will be initialized with the zoom level of the standard 3D view.

  • Wave height is set to 0 by default . This value can be increased by pressing several times on the W key and decreased by pressing the Ctrl and W keys simultaneously.

Note

The realistic 3D view may not be available or may not work properly when using a basic graphic card embedded on the motherboard.

Using outdated graphics card drivers can cause application crashes when using the realistic 3D view.

In the case of graphics problems, the following series of steps must be taken:

  • Open the window parameter and click on System > Display > Graphics (Figure 2).
