Is it possible through motionview itself, hypermesh or other softwares?

I need to transfer a complex model from other group's work, so it is necessary.

    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

    Hi @QinHe_321,

    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!
