How to provide "Termination condition" in a Kinematic type analysis?

[CSi]

I am trying to run a Kinematic type analysis. I could not see the option to enable Termination Condition for the analysis in Kinematic type of analysis. How can I terminate the run after meeting a certain specified condition? Thanks!

Option to specify termination condition exists only in Dynamic Analysis. I am trying to specify termination condition in a Kinematic Analysis. Is there any workaround?

Hi @CSi , 

A couple more topics down in the Help Center from @VladimirN 's link confirms Termination Conditions are only valid for Dynamic Analyses.  For a Kinematic termination workaround, the definition of the analysis and use of motors, constraint limits, etc. can be considered and implemented.

Thanks! Mike.
Is there a example or document describing the same. Would be of much help.

Just wondering, why would PTC enable Termination Conditions only in Dynamic type of analysis?

Dynamic analyses can take a very long time (several hours).

The termination condition is helpful for this (time saving).
