Leaf-spring Bulilder

Hi,

I am using the Motion View 2017.1 version.

As I can see, there is a new function in it: Leaf-spring Builder

I went to help to looking for more information about it, and I found the tutorial MV-8050:Using Leaf-spring Bulider.

I tried to follow every step in tutorial. However at the Import step to import the .mdl file to Motion View, I got nothing.

The model is nor imported at all.

Could anyone help me with this

Below is the picture for the issue I got when tried to import file:

Hi @Toan Nguyen

How are you opening the ,mdl file?

Make sure you Click on Model>> Import

Yes, that is exactly how I import the .mdl file.

In fact, that's the only way, the other methods like using import Tab, or open did not recognize .mdl file

Looks like you missed a step in the tutorial. You have to resolve the attachments.

Hi,

I don't think I missed it. I just did not know how to do it.

After importing, here what I got when click Leaf spring system: picture 1

I also tried to resolve it by myself, looked for an appropriate body for b_axle_body.

I could not find any body with the name same in picture in tutorial.

the most suspicious one is Vehicle Axle Body in Attachments folder (picture 2). I tried it, but got error.

Could you show me how can I resolve this properly.

Thanks

Hi Nguyen,

To get rid off above error, you just need to select bodies which are out of the Leaf Spring System.

Generally you will have leaf spring mounted on Axle and vehicle body. Or for a moment to check your leaf spring you can connect all three attachments to ground body and you will able to see the leaf profile, but make sure you have to connect these attachments at right bodies.
