Creo Simulate 2.0 : interrupt-restart analysis & sections

Hello,

I have two questions about CREO Simulate (I am using the 2.0 version):

1) During the preprocessing of an assembly, I tried to create a cross section because it would have been very helpful to see more in details the mesh created in internal features of some parts, but unfortunately I could not. Is there a way to create it?

2) Is it possible to interrupt an analysis and restart it in a second moment from the point at which I interrupted it?

Thank you in advance for the help!

a cross section in Wildfire 4.0:

1-Visitor

Were you able to create the cross section in Wildfire 4 while in Mechanica or was it just activated/turned on?

A couple of issues I run into are:

-Not being able to create a Section Feature while in Simulate that can also be used in normal assembly or part mode.

-While creating Simulate features, if you cancel out of creating a feature Creo will turn off the active cross section.

I will have to go back to my wildfire 4 M220 installation and take a closer look.
