Using H3D Flexbodies in MotionView

Follow the steps below to set flexbody properties in MotionView:

1.	From the MotionView toolbar or Model menu, select the Bodies panel.

2.	Select the Properties tab.

3.	Activate the Flex Body (CMS) check box.

deformable_motionsolve

Flex Body (CMS) option

4.	For Abaqus:

-	Use the .inp file

5.	For ADAMS:

-	Use the H3D file.

6.	For MotionSolve:

-	Use the H3D file.

7.	Use the Invariants, Nodes, and Modes buttons to set the properties.

Note

You can set a flexbody tolerance through MDL and the user interface. When the magnitude between the flexbody node and corresponding MDL point exceeds this tolerance, MotionView automatically inserts a dummy body to bridge the distance. If the difference is less than the tolerance, the entities are exported to ADAMS without a dummy body (unless explicitly requested).
