Hello,

My goadl is to create virtual bushing by importing .csv file in Simsolid

My fastener.csv file contains the following data : 

X,Y,Z,Diameter,Stiffness linear X,Stiffness linear Y,Stiffness linear Z,Stiffness angular X,Stiffness angular Y,Stiffness angular Z,Coordinate system id

How can I proceed ? because it does not work. 
How and when can I import in the model the coordinate system (with .csv) used in the bushing definition ? 

 

Thank you !!

    I found that 10^9 is not a right format.  10.E+9 is accecpted. 
    But now I have a problem with the format of csv file to import the local coordinate system definitions. I can't find the help.

    Hi Lise, 

    I am attaching the screenshot for your reference. This is how we should create the Excel. LCS (local coordinate system)

    Thank you for your answer. 

    But it does not work. I can import coord system definition with csv but the coord are not as in hyperworks... 
    I extact from HW the coord definition with matrix browser option. (this step create my csv file)
    here are the coord in HW view :

    I import the csv in simsolid... and the result is not the same.

    In SimSolid we must specify the direction of X and Y axis of LCS, as shown in the screenshot above
