Hello everyone,

 

First of all I wish you an Happy New Year :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

 

My question is about the use of the Modal Force in MV.

I want to reuse a pressure on a plate I created in HM, but after the transformation in a FlexBody, I can't see the Load ID in the Properties Panel of the ModalForce. Even if I create a LoadCase with the Pressure in it.

In HM I create a basic pressure on a set of elements. It's just a basic pressure on a plate.

 

I read that the ModalForce entity acts like a scale of the force we create in HM, is that right ?

 

Any idea to help me ?

 

Thanks ! :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    Hello CdricCd - I would recommend you to look at tutorial MV-2040 to learn on working with Modal Force, if you haven't done that already.

     

    The loadcase that you created needs to be referred into the CMSMETH card. Currently, this option is not available in our Flexprep tool in MotionView.

    So the flex body needs to be generated through HM.

     

    In the tutorial MV-2040, this refers to the Step 1.7.
