Impose Motion(s)

Right-click general motion → Modify

Lets you modify a general Point Motion. It displays a set of options for each of the motion's six Degrees of freedom (DOF). It displays a pull-down menu next to a DOF if it is free and can have motion applied to it, and displays the label fixed if the DOF is constrained and cannot move.

For the option:	Do the following:
Name	Enter the name of the point motion to modify.
Moving Point	Change the marker that defines the location of the motion on the parts. Learn About Point Motion. Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Reference Point	Change the marker that defines the orientation of the motion on the parts.
Type	Enter how you want to define the motion.
F(time)	Enter the following in the F(time) text boxes. The text boxes that appear depend on how the magnitude of the motion is defined. ■Numerical value (For rotational motion, specify the magnitude in radians.) ■Function expression ■Parameters to be passed to a user-written subroutine To enter a function expression, next to the Function (time) text box, select the More tool to display the Function Builder.
Disp. IC and Velo. IC	Enter the initial conditions for displacement or velocity. The text boxes that appear depend on how the magnitude of the motion is defined.
