Generating Position and Gradients for Loaded Configuration

The following process can be used to obtain the position and gradients for loaded configuration, which can then be imported into a MotionView model.
  1. Start with the NLFE Body in a No-Load configuration and apply Force/Motion to load the NLFE Body as needed.
  2. Include the MotionSolve Save command to save the states of the model into an XML file (herein referred as “saved state XML”) after the Simulate command. A Template that writes into the solver command section can be used in MotionView.
    Figure 1.


  3. Click on Default Analysis in the Model Browser and then select the Scripted Simulation check box from the Entity Editor - Analysis.
    Figure 2.


  4. Solve the model. Select the Run offline option with the Offline run format as XML in the Analysis settings and click the Run button.
    Figure 3.


  5. Once the run is complete, import the “saved state XML” file into the Position & Gradients table available in the NLFE Body Connectivity section of the Entity Editor.
    Figure 4.


    Upon importing the loaded configuration, the display of the NLFE Body in graphics area would change. The NLFE Body loaded configuration gets the prominent display with solid implicit graphics while the no load configuration will be shown in a wireframe featured mode.
