Create/Modify Reboundstop

(Template Builder) Build → Forces → Reboundstop → New/Modify            Shared Dialog Box
Creates or modifies a reboundstop. Learn about reboundstops.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Reboundstop Name
If creating a reboundstop, enter a string that defines its name.
If modifying a reboundstop, enter its database name.
I Part
Enter the name of the part on which the reboundstop will act.
J Part
Enter the name of the part on which the reboundstop will react.
I Coordinate Reference
Specify a Coordinate Reference to locate the point on the I part at which the reboundstop will act.
J Coordinate Reference
Specify a Coordinate Reference to locate the point on the J part at which the reboundstop will act.
Property File
If creating a reboundstop, note that the text box by default contains the file name <shared>/reboundstops.tbl/mdi_0001.reb.
If modifying a reboundstop, specify the property file that contains the force-deflection relationship for the reboundstop.
Clearance/Impact Length
Select a method to specify when the reboundstop force activates:
■Clearance - Specify the distance the I coordinate reference can travel - Specify the distance the I coordinate reference can travel away from the J coordinate reference, measured from the I coordinate, before the reboundstop force activates.
■Impact Length - Specify the distance the I coordinate reference can travel away from the J coordinate reference, measured from the J coordinate, before the reboundstop force activates.
Color
Select a color for the reboundstop graphic.
Reboundstop Diameter
Select the diameter of the reboundstop graphic. Note that the slider actually defines the ratio of the diameter to the length.
Note: Because the reboundstop is not a part itself, and soley defines the force-displacement relationship between two parts, changing the reboundstop graphic diameter does not translate into different reboundstop properties.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
■If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
Learn about Recording Comments.
Select to modify the property file in the Curve Manager. While the Curve Manager is active, you cannot perform operations outside the Curve Manager; after exiting the Curve Manager, you can resume working in your product.
Select to view property file information. By default, your template-based product displays this information in the Information window, but you can choose to display the information in a text editor.
