"Simulate spring systems" not working in v16?

[Meowx]

Just wanted to verify that I'm not doing something wrong here before I throw up an AM Report. I'm using the Mac version of v16 and can't get spring systems to work. In an action, selecting "simulate spring systems" does absolutely nothing. In a choreography, the option is grayed out.

 

I hopped back to v15 (same project, same actions, same chor) and "simulate spring systems" works perfectly fine in both acts and chors.

 

I also tried creating a brand new action in v16; same result.

 

Anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

I don't use "spring systems", but I believe you are referring to dynamic constraints?

 

In ver 15, I believe dynamic systems (dynamic constraints) were "baked" using "simulate springs".

 

In ver 16 32 bit (PC) - it appears that it's been replaced by "Bake Dynamic systems". It works for me in 16. Sorta, mostly. There are some funnies however that seem to happen, related to rendering directly after baking dynamics. I find it best to "bake dynamics", save the baked chor, restart A:M and then render for more consistent results.

Ah ha! That's what I'm after. And that's why I asked before filing a report, lol. Thanks, Nancy!
