Debugging

You can display the ViewFlex Log Files to display information about the modal analysis and the flexible- body generation steps only for Extrusion function. Using the log file, you can follow and understand each intermediate step that generates the .MNF file and, consequently, the flexible body (mesh generation, number of nodes and elements, number of modes, orthogonalization, modal calculation, optionally modal stress/strain calculation, and so on). The log file automatically appears when something goes wrong. This normally happens, if the analysis doesn't run successfully.

To turn on debugging:

At the bottom of the ViewFlex dialog box, select Debug.
