Generate the swept volume

The Generate sweep volume command starts the trace and builds the swept volume of all defined objects.

It plays the (partial) simulation of the program and for that simulation the swept volumes are created.

The swept volume has been created in a new resource type or workpiece document that has been added to the project tree. It can be recognized by the sweep symbol and is given a default name. This document can be stored for later or other purposes.

The swept volume is a one-off result of the current state of the simulation without any further association with that simulation. Each time the sweep command is executed, a new volume will be calculated and built in a new document. Existing swept volumes will not be updated.

The partial simulation can also be a limited part, being defined with the two limit markers on the progress bar.
