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.
