*SetFlexbodyMexact()

Specifies which modal body coordinates the solver should not change during initial condition calculation.

Syntax

*SetFlexbodyMexact(body_name, SOLVER_NAME, m1, m2, ...mN)

Arguments

body_name
The variable name of the flexbody to which the set statement is referring.
Data type: varname
SOLVER_NAME
The solver name (ADAMS only).
m1, m2, ...mN
This represents the modal body coordinates that the solver will hold constrained as it solves for initial conditions that satisfy all constraints.
Data type: integer
