Command Element

Description

The Load_Command command reads the command block from a specified MotionSolve XML file and executes the command elements.

Format

<Load_Command

    Command_File = "valid_file_name.xml"

/>

Attributes

Command_File

The name of the MotionSolve XML file to be loaded.

Comments

Example

The following example demonstrates using the Load_Command to load a MotionSolve XML file, called cmd.xml and then executing the three simulate commands it contains.

<Command

  <Load_Model

     model_file          = "save1.xml"

     result_file         = "output.mrf"

     anima_file          = "output.h3d"

  />

  <Simulate

     analysis_type       = "Transient"

     end_time            = "5."

     print_interval      = "0.01"

  />

  <Load_Command

    command_file         = "cmd.xml"

  />

  <Simulate

    analysis_type        = "Transient"

    end_time             = "10."

    print_interval       = "0.01"    

  />

</Command>

The contents of the file cmd.xml are as follows.

<Command>

 <Simulate

    analysis_type       = "Transient"

    end_time            = "6."

    print_interval      = "0.01"    

 />

 <Simulate

    analysis_type       = "Transient"

    end_time            = "7."

    print_interval      = "0.01"    

 />

 <Simulate

    analysis_type       = "Transient"

    end_time            = "8."

    print_interval      = "0.01"    

 />

</Command>

Example

The following example demonstrates using the RELOAD command to load a MotionSolve Python file and then performing a transient simulation until 5 seconds.

RELOAD(FILE="save1.py", OUTPUT_PREFIX="my_result")

SIMULATE(TYPE="TRANSIENT", END=5, DTOUT=0.01)
