part modify flexible_body modal_ics
Allows you to set the initial conditions parameters on a flexible body, including the selected modes, the initial displacements and velocities and the modal exact coordinates for selected modes.

Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
flexible_body_name | Existing flex_body | Specifies the name of the flexible body |
selected_modes | Real | Specifies which modes to include when computing the modal integrals for use by Adams Solver. |
initial_modal_displacements | real | Specifies the initial displacements for the selected modes. |
initial_modal_velocities | Real | Specifies the initial velocities for the selected modes. |
modal_exact_coordinates | Integer | Specifies integers that correspond to the modal coordinates you want held exact during initial conditions displacement analysis. |
set_IC_modes | Integer | Specifies a list of modes to use when setting modal_IC_displacement or modal_IC_velocities. |
modal_IC_displacements | Real | Specifies a displacement IC to use for the modes specified in set_IC_modes. |
modal_IC_velocities | Real | Specifies a velocity to use for the modes specified in set_IC_modes. |
Extended Definition:
1. Note that when you change the selected modes, you should also modify any initial conditions that you have set.
2. You can identify an entity, such as a marker or force, by typing its name or by picking it from the screen. If the entity is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the element is displayed.
If an entity is available by default, you can identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify an entity under a different part, you may need to enter the model and part names as well. For example, you can specify marker 'pivot' from model 'links', part 'lower_arm' by entering ".links.lower_arm.pivot".
If you type a "?", Adams View lists the entity available by default.
You must separate multiple entity names by commas. If the entity is visible in one of your views, you can identify it by picking it. You need not separate multiple element picks by commas.
If you created a marker by reading an Adams Solver dataset or graphics file, the marker name is the letters MAR followed by the dataset marker ID number. For example, the name of MARKER/101 is MAR101. If you created the marker during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
You may have explicitly named an analysis when you created it by reading one or more Adams output files (graphics (.gra), request (.req), or results (.res)). By default, the name of the analysis is the root name of the Adams output files without the extension. If you created the analysis by reading an Adams graphics file, for example, the analysis name is the name of the graphics file without the .gra extension.
