Motor/Actuator Is Ignored During Statics Analysis

Condition

The motor/actuator will not behave as expected, because the velocity and acceleration are set to zero for a statics analysis.

This error message has several versions:
  • Speed Motor Is Ignored During Statics Analysis
  • Velocity Actuator Is Ignored During Statics Analysis
  • Acceleration Motor Is Ignored During Statics Analysis
  • Acceleration Actuator Is Ignored During Statics Analysis

Remedy

  • Change the motor type to Angle, or the actuator type to Displacement.
  • Run a transient instead of statics analysis by changing the Run Motion Analysis settings.
  • If using a speed motor or velocity actuator, disable the controller to lock the motor during a statics analysis.
