Meaning of spline id=-1 in .log file
Hello, I'm curious if anyone knows what may cause a spline ID of -1 to be referenced in a "value out of range" warning in a motionsolve .log file. This doesn't appear to be a valid spline ID and I can't find any splines in my model with an xend = 80 either, so I'm guessing this is an auto-generated utility spline, possibly…

Animate Simulation Results in Batch Using Compose and HyperView
Altair Compose is a tool that can enhance our usage of other simulation tools. In this small post I will show you how you can use it to run multibody systems simulations using MotionSolve and animate your results in HyperView, all with a single click. This example is based on the Python script shown in Drive MotionSolve…

Motor not actuating the wheels
Dear, I loaded a basic full car model with two electric motors and 4WD and perform a constant radius event. The only modification I made was to the suspension points. However, when I try to run the simulation, it always fails. Fortunately, an animation file is generated, and when I view it, I notice that the car starts…

Motionsolve, is it always possible to see the collision in a contact?
Hi, I'm currently working for the first time in motionsolve, in my model I need to define a contact but I'm not sure of the collision I can expect from this. In details, I've defined the model as shown in the following picture: where the components 1,2 and 3 are free to rotate around a shaft in the middle (red dot). I've…

Hello everyone! My engineering capstone project is an analysis of vibrations in wheelchairs. What is the best way to approach this work using Altair?
I would like to know if MotionView is the best solution for conducting the analysis. If I already have my 3D CAD parts completed, can I import these CAD drawings into MotionView, create the joints, and test vibration on a virtual road? Or do I need to use the Vehicle Tools to start modeling a half-car to simulate my…

More problems with the smoothness of the Torque plot results
Hello again. I continue having problems when I plot the torque of a simple model than a linear screw. The model (attached) is simple I have a 200kg mass with a linear movement (STEP5) actuated by a rotary motor that transform the rotationl movement in linear. When I plot the torque of the motor, I have the next: With a RMS…

No tire lateral forces in quasi static simulation
When i run a quasi static simulation on a vehicle with a lateral force input applied on the vehicle, the vehicle is freely sliding across the road. The tires don't generate any forces in lateral direction. I was anticipating that the tires would generate frictional resistance inline with the friction value defined in the…

How can I adjust the animation speed at real time speed?
Hello all, When I animate a simulation in Motionview, the duration time of the animation comes from (if I'm right) the print interval and the frames that you animate. How can I adjust the speed of the video to real time? (I mean, that 1 second in the video has the duration of a second in real life). Thanks!
