Command Element

Description

The Load_Model command reads a MotionSolve XML file and builds a new multi-body model.

This command may be used in conjunction with the Save command, which is used to save a multi-body model as a MotionSolve XML file, following a simulation.  Such a file contains all the model information necessary to restart the simulation.

Format

<Load_Model

    model_file       = "valid_file_name.xml"

    result_file      = "valid_file_name.mrf"

    anima_file       = "valid_file_name.h3d"

/>

Attributes

model_file

The name of the MotionSolve XML file to be loaded.

result_file

The name of the MRF file that will store the results of the new simulation.

anima_file

The name of the H3D file that will store the results of the new simulation.

Comments

Example

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

<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"

  />

</Command>

The file save1.xml was created using the Save command, following a transient simulation for 3 seconds.

Attributes

FILE

The name of the MotionSolve Python file to be loaded.

OUTPUT_PREFIX

The name of the MRF and H3D file that will store the results of the new simulation.
