Note
We recommend that you work through the sample configuration 

Getting Started SIMOTION 

SCOUT. This is a series of guided steps which teaches you how to work with SIMOTION 

SCOUT. For example, how to create, compile, and save a project, insert a SIMOTION device, 

insert and assign parameters for a technology object, and create a program. 
When you have worked through all these steps, you will be able to create more complex 

projects.
Getting Started is available in two versions with different scopes, as a print document and in 

the online help.

Note
It is not recommended that you open one SIMOTION SCOUT project twice. This application 

case can result in malfunctions and is not supported by SIMOTION SCOUT. If you want to 

open two different projects, you must open SIMOTION SCOUT twice.

SIMOTION SCOUT - working area

The workbench displays all of the Snap-in work windows in the working area. Each Snap-in 

provides its own work window. You can open multiple instances of these windows. You can, 

for example, open several programs at the same time for editing. For further information, refer 

to the online help.     
The following table provides an overview of the active functions in the working area of the 

workbench depending on the project mode (offline/online):
