Discover MotionView functionality with interactive tutorials.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multi-body Dynamics.
Explore the MotionView menus which provide access to the various wizards, dialogs, tools, and panels.
The topics/motionview/solver_mode_r.html sets the current the active solver for MotionView.
The Model menu provides access to several wizards and dialogs.
The Analysis menu provides access to the Task Wizard and View Reports dialogs.
The MotionView Tools menu allows you to check a model for errors, select a writer and user mode, and access such panels as Reports, Templex Functions, and Options.
Check Model searches for unresolved references and invalid data in the model. If errors in the model are detected, it is reported in the message window that is displayed when the check is completed.
The Freeze Output Ids utility performs the Check Model function and locks all MDL output IDs to their respective values resulting from Check Model.
Allows you to generate detailed graphics for an MDL model using various source files.
Invokes the Model Identification Tool. This tool can be used to fit experimental data to analytical models for frequency, amplitude, and preload dependent bushings.
The total mass, center of gravity, and inertia of the models or bodies within a model can be quickly obtained through the CG/Inertia Summary utility.
Provides access to the ABAQUS to Altair Formats and the MV Gfile Trans custom wizards.
Allows you to add predefined page sets to a session.
Invokes the MotionSolve User Subroutine Build Tool.
Invokes the Model Identification Tool. This tool can be used to fit experimental data to analytical models for frequency, amplitude, and preload dependent bushings.
The Templex Functions panel allows you to create and edit Templex functions.
Various options for your model are set in the Options dialog.
The FlexTools menu provides access to Flex Prep, Flex File Gen, Fatigue Prep, and Load Export.
The EDEM menu provides access to tools related to the MotionSolve - EDEM cosimulation interface.
The Macros menu contains many utilities for use with MDL models.
A metadata file is automatically generated when you save the active MDL model as an ADAMS or MotionSolve deck or you run a solver analysis on the active model.
The metadata file consists of multiple data blocks denoted by keyword pairs.
The Project Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.
