Modify Flexible Body

(Standard Interface) Adjust → Flexible Body → Modify            Shared Dialog Box
Modifies a flexible body. Learn about Flexible Bodies and modal flexibility, your template-based product's method of modeling flexible bodies.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Flexible Body
Enter the database name of a flexible body.
Location
Enter the three coordinates, separated by commas, that define the new location (for example, -100, 200, 50).
Orient Using
Select if you want to orient the flexible body using:
■Euler Angles
■Direction Vectors
If you select Euler Angles, your template-based product enables the following option:
Euler Angles
Enter the three Euler angle values that define the flexible body's orientation.
If you select Direction Vectors, your template-based product enables the following options:
X Vector
Enter the x, y, and z values that define the direction of the x-vector along which the flexible body will be oriented.
Z Vector
Enter the x, y, and z values that define the direction of the z-vector along which the flexible body will be oriented.
Modal Neutral File
Select an MNF file that represents the part.
If you have several different modal neutral files all representing the same part, but with different modal flexibility characteristics, you can switch between them by selecting the desired MNF file.
Sprung Mass %
Enter percentage contribution of part total mass into sprung mass. Select a location of sprung mass contribution from the list for the subsystem with role other than front or rear. (Used only for SVC event)
Select to view the comments that were added during the creation of the flexible body in the Template Builder.
Select to display the Flexible Body Mode Manager, where you can view/animate mode shapes and perform other operations, such as define the deformation scale factor and inertia modeling, or enable/disable modes.
