This use case allows you to visualize the modes of a flexbody.  You can animate the file immediately after a flexbody H3D file has been generated (an ADAMS run is not required).

To load and animate an H3D Flex flexbody file:

1.From the Load Model panel, activate the Load Model and Load Results check boxes.
2.Select H3D Flex from the Load Model drop-down menu. H3D Flex is automatically listed in the Load Results drop-down menu.
3.Click the file browser button next to Load Model and select a flexbody file.  The same file is loaded into the Load Results field.
4.Click Apply to load the model.
5.Click the traffic light to scan the range of frequencies contained in the model.

 

Toggling the traffic light to Linear/Modal animation (the tuning fork symbol) from the drop-down menu allows you to visualize a single mode.
