The simulation menu button in the bottom right corner of the main window allows you to control simulations.

To... Do this

Turn all simulation on or off

To...	Do this
Turn all simulation on or off	Click the simulation menu button to switch between simulation on and off. or Right-click or press and hold on the button and use the Enable simulation menu item.
Set which DOP network the shelf tools will create new dynamics nodes in	Right-click or press and hold on the button and open the Current simulation sub-menu. Choose the DOP network you want the shelf tools to affect.
Create a new DOP network at the Scene level	Right-click or press and hold on the button and choose Create new simulation. Note: if it does not already exist, the shelf tools will create a new DOP network at the scene level called `AutoDopNetwork` automatically. So it is only necessary to use this command if you want additional DOP networks for some reason. This command creates a new numbered `AutoDopNetwork` DOP network node at the scene level.
