simple dialog choice which is remembered on subsequent runs from the project.
To create:
- Run your crash simulation
- Next Run the 2D Animation from 3D graphics (you can also do this from the GRID):
- From 3D graphics menu select the GRID grid:
- From the dropdown list, select the 2D Animation (lower icon)
- Once Graphics loaded, right click, to bring up the popup display:
- And then select the Tabular Setup icon (circled)
- From this dialog select the Acceleration display (circled areas)
- and if you want X,Y components (or simply resultant)
- then run the animation to see the vectors
- Vehicle 2 applies 20% braking.
- See the acceleration display on right in the video.
- Note: This was assembled with Camtasia (from 2 video displays of the simulations in 3D and 2D wit the vector display)
- Note: we expect to add this accel vector display to the 3D graphics in late 2021.

Here is a link to the a backed up zip file of the project To use
- Download the project
- From McHenry3D graphics use the File Restore Option (this links to the explanation in a video)
to restore the project - Project contains 3 files:
- 1st file is a simple crash between vehicles,
- use scale of 1.0 for impact acceleration
- the 2nd and 3rd files are demonstrations of paths of vehicles with and without braking
- use scale of 20 for these since all accelerations < 1 G since no collision
- path follower
- ignore collision option
- change output time increment (the one with a collision) drop output to 0.001 sec during collision
- 1st file is a simple crash between vehicles,
