Changes the name of a part and sets its position. Learn about Modifying Part Name and Location.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Name
Enter the name that you want assigned to the rigid body.
Solver ID
Assign a unique ID number to the rigid body. See Adams Solver ID.
Location
Enter the coordinates to which you want to move an object. If you enter a location in the Relative To text box, Adams View applies the coordinates relative to that coordinate system.
Orientation/
Along Axis/
In Plane
Select one of the following to set different Orientation Methods:
■Orientation
■Along Axis
■In Plane
Relative To
Enter a reference frame relative to which the location and orientation are defined.
Planar
Available for rigid bodies only
Set to identify a three-dimensional rigid body as a planar part.
If the selected part is a flexible body following 3 options will appear
Char Length
Specify the characteristic length of the flexible body for linear limit check. This should be in the model length unit.
Dynamic Limit
Specify the threshold frequency for quasi-static modes.
Stability Factor
Specify the amount of damping needed to add to the quasi-static modes.
Select to add any comments about the body to help you manage and identify it. Learn about Comments.
