SOLIDWORKS Plastics CommandManager

The SOLIDWORKS Plastics CommandManager provides access to the plastics simulation tools. The Plastics CommandManager is visible when you activate the SOLIDWORKS Plastics add-in.

The availability of each tool is context-sensitive and depends on the actions you have taken to create a plastics simulation. You can also access several of the tools from the PlasticsManager tree.
