Selecting the Recording option on the toolbar enables you to automatically generate ("record") application supported APIs based on the actions that you make in the application, such as contact surfaces, loading, and the definition of results. For the animated example shown here, a Fixed Support and a Pressure were added to the Outline. The recording feature captured these actions. This feature is a convenient tool for API development. See the Default Settings topic in the Working with the Editor section for the filters available for this feature.
- Points to Remember
When you record and save API content for moving the model around in the Geometry window, via the Camera Default Setting, those APIs are independent of the geometry. If you save movement APIs (pan, rotate, etc.), they will execute of any model in the application.
For saved script files, the order in which you record your actions and create APIs has consequence. You need to ensure that all APIs support any redefinition or changes as you progress through a recording.
Note: This feature does not support every available API. Further development in this regard as well as the improvement of the feature itself is ongoing and required.
