An option is used to customize entity definition within an analysis.  Options can perform operations such as turning entities on or off, or converting joints in an analysis from compliant to non-compliant.

When you select the Options tab on the Analysis panel, a list of the options belonging to the current analysis is displayed.  Each analysis has a Compliant option by default.  This option can be used to toggle the state of joints within the analysis.  The joint or bushing within the analysis should be modeled within an *if(Op_Compliant == "Yes") loop in the MDL language using a text editor.

Making an Analysis Compliant or Non-Compliant

You can make any analysis in a MotionView model compliant or non-compliant.  The Compliant option is located on the Options tab of the Analysis panel.

Yes

makes all compliant joints in the analysis compliant.

No

makes all compliant joints in the analysis non-compliant.

In addition to converting compliant joints, MotionView can turn other entities on or off in a analysis according to predefined system settings.  For example, MotionView can turn off specific entities such as springs or stabilizer bars when the analysis is made non-compliant.

NoteNot all joints can be compliant.  The rules for converting joints from compliant to non-compliant are built into each model using the MDL language.

Refer to the MDL Language Reference on-line help for further information on programming system libraries and options.
