  1. Only one MOTION entry can be present for each subcase.
  2. This Subcase Information Entry is only valid when it appears in a Multibody subcase.
  3. If the SID referenced by the MOTION Subcase Information Entry matches with the SID defined for a MOTION Bulk Data Entry, the information on this entry alone is selected. However, if a MOTION Bulk Data Entry does not have the referenced SID defined, any of the Multibody motion entries: MOTNG, MOTNGC, MOTNGE, MOTNJ, MOTHJC, or MOTIONJE which have this SID will be selected.
