Hi @QinHe_321,

Do you have access to an older version of MotionView? The documentation reflects the 2022.3 interface, so you may need to open / install that version to take advantage of this older feature.

In 2022.3, you can change the Solver Mode to Abaqus:

If I now create a body, you can see it shows inputs for the .INP

Hope this helps!

To import a flexible body file into MotionView, you can import an .INP file by creating a body, setting it to "Flex Body", and then choosing the .INP file, as outlined in the following link:

Hope this helps!
