Customization capabilities in MotionSolve allow advanced users to
customize the MotionSolve input format for specific
domains.
Traditionally, multi-body solvers have included user-written subroutines to allow solver
customization for specific domains. For instance,a vehicle dynamics expert can create
special purpose bushings using the FIESUB user-wrtten subroutine. The image below shows
the modeling statements and commands that can be customized by creating user-written
subroutines. Figure 1. Traditional Customization
MotionSolve provides capabilities for expanded customization in
addition to user written subroutines. This is accomplished via a user-configurable XML
mapping file. This mapping file allows you to define the following custom elements:
