I am modeling a new type of roller coaster in CATIA. In order to test this new coaster concept I need to run the simulation from the viewpoint of the manikin riding in the car. Whether you are modeling a roller coaster or a sports car, here is how it is done:
First, make sure this option under Tools > Options>Ergonomics is set:
For the line of sight, create a camera in View - Named View and then position it close to your manikin head.
Next, attach the camera to the head of the manikin with the "attach/detach" function and change the property to perspective.
You can open a camera view window while in DMU Nav by using the Window Menu, you can open the Camera window:
Use this Camera window for recording.
The only downside is when I simulate in the camera view it automatically switches the geometry to "shading with edges" instead of what I want to see, which is "shading with material." Anyone know if there is an option somewhere to change this?
