Rod Stability

Good evening,

I am working on my aerospace engineering final project consisting of a flight control system. As you can see from the picture attached, I am using motionview to model a series of  rods connected with several joints.

My teacher asked me to write a script to make hyperworks automatically analize rod's stability. In particular, the following expression should not exceed a known value:

 

F = (pi)^2 E I /(L^2)

where 'L' is the lenght of the singular rod and 'I' is the minimum moment of inertia.

 

To sum up, I need motionview to read the lenght and the moment of inertia of each rod and to check the value of 'F'

 

This is the first time I use motionview for this scop so I don't really know what I should do.

I would be greatful if anyone could help me

 

thank you in advance for your help
