points from cad file

francesca_21990

I'm working in MotionView for the very first time, so I apologize if my problem may seem trivial.

I've imported a geometry in motionview from a step file and consequently bodies have been created.

How can I define points in order to, in a second step, specify joints? Some tutorials show that points can be created using a point table file, but how can I create this table? Is there a method to create it from my step file? Or is there another method to create points directly in MotionView?

 

hope to receive some explanations. Thanks in advance.

Hello Francesca,

From a table you can use this option and open a .csv or .txt file.

 

 

From the Step you can enable CAD feature recognition under Tool--> Option --> Build Model and select points or directly joints using the CAD features.

 

 

 

Best regards,

Felipe.
