For help understanding magnet orientation and rotation within the simulation environment please refer to Section A.3.

Linear travel requires that both the start and final coordinates are entered. Motion steps the position of the magnet evenly from the start to finish position. TI recommends choosing a value that is a factor of the total distance traveled when setting the step size. Step size can be set as described in Section 4.3.
