Load Model
Command ElementThe Load_Model command reads a MotionSolve XML file and builds a new multibody model.
Description
This command may be used in conjunction with the Save command, which is used to save a multibody model as a MotionSolve XML file, following a simulation. Such a file contains all the model information necessary to restart the simulation.
Format
<Load_Model
model_file = "valid_file_name.xml"
result_file = "valid_file_name.mrf"
anima_file = "valid_file_name.h3d"
/>
Attributes
- model_file
- The name of the MotionSolve XML file to be loaded.
- result_file
- The name of the MRF file that will store the results of the new simulation.
- anima_file
- The name of the H3D file that will store the results of the new simulation.
Example
The following example demonstrates using the Load_Model command to load a MotionSolve XML file and then performing a transient simulation until five seconds.
<Command>
<Load_Model
model_file = "save1.xml"
result_file = "output.mrf"
anima_file = "output.h3d"
/>
<Simulate
analysis_type = "Transient"
end_time = "5."
print_interval = "0.01"
/>
</Command>
The file save1.xml was created using the Save command, following a transient simulation for three seconds.
Comments
- A new MRF file is generated for each new simulation.
- A single H3D file is produced which contains the animation results for the entire simulation.
