MotionView Panels
Explore the various panels and tools in MotionView.
The MotionView tool buttons are displayed on the various toolbars when a model is loaded in the active window.
Button | Panel/Tool | Description |
---|---|---|
Graphic Entity Attributes | Sets options for graphic entities. | |
Run Solver | Submits a solver run. | |
Entity Selector | Sets the graphic screen selection mode. | |
System/Assemby | Allows you to create and save systems/assemblies, to modify system/assembly attachments, and to set system options and initial conditions. | |
Analysis | Allows you to create and save an analysis, to modify analysis attachments, and to set analysis options and initial conditions. | |
Command Sets | Allows you to create command sets for the solver-command file. The command sets for a model are order dependent since they define the contents of the solver command file. | |
Points | Allows you to create points and to edit point coordinates. | |
Bodies | Allows you to edit the mass properties, orientation rules, and initial conditions for bodies. | |
Vectors | Allows you to create vectors and to edit vector components. | |
Markers | Allows you to create markers and to edit location and orientation rules for markers. | |
Curves | Allows you to create and edit curves. Curves hold x-y data for nonlinear properties. This panel has similar options as the Define Curves panel in HyperGraph. | |
Spline3D | Allows you to add and edit three dimensional spline data. | |
Graphics | Allows you to change the graphical attributes of entities in your model. Graphical attributes include color, state, and rendering method. | |
Surfaces | Allows you to create surfaces for use with advanced joint entities. | |
Deformable Curves | Allows you to create and edit deformable curves. These curves can change their shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts. | |
Deformable Surfaces | Allows you to create and edit deformable surfaces. These entities can change shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts. | |
Joints | Allows you to edit properties, connectivity, orientation rules, and initial conditions for joints. | |
Motions | Allows you to create motions and to edit the initial conditions, displacements, velocities, and acceleration of joints. | |
Couplers | Allows you to edit joint couplers. | |
Gears | Allows you to create a gear entity to relate the motion of two joints. | |
Advanced Joints | Allows you to create a set of joints where points, curves and surfaces stay in contact throughout the simulation. | |
General Constraints | Allows you to create a generic expression based constraint. | |
Forces | Allows you to create forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces. | |
Modal Forces | Allows you to create modal forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces | |
Bushings | Allows you to edit the orientation, connectivity, stiffness, damping, and preloads of bushings. | |
Fields | Allows you to create and edit fields to relate forces between two bodies. | |
Spring Dampers | Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and initial conditions of springs and dampers. | |
Beams | Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and orientations of beams. | |
Polybeams | Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and points of a polybeam. | |
Contacts | Allows you to set contact data. | |
Solver Variables | Allows you to set solver variable data | |
Solver Arrays | Allows you to set solver array data. | |
Solver Strings | Allows you to set solver string data. | |
Solver Differential Equations | Allows you to set solver differential equations | |
Control SISOs | Allows you to set control entity data. | |
Sensors | Allows you to create and edit a sensor entity to modify the solver behavior during simulation. | |
Control State Equations | Allows you to set control state equations. | |
FMU | Allows you to add a Functional Mock-up Unit and connect it to a multi-body model. | |
Outputs | Allows you to create and edit output and requests such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. | |
Datasets | Allows you to access user-defined datasets. | |
Templates | Allows you to insert segments of text into your model. | |
Forms | Allows you to edit data stored in user-defined panels. |
