Discrepancy between simulated and theoretical force
First of all, I'm so sorry that I can’t share the model due to some constraints. But I can provide the coordinates and mass of each body in my model. I think my problem is similar to the example below. At first, I built a model based on the dimensions and load from the jib boom crane example. MotionView gave almost the…

Full vehicle simulation convergence error
Hello Everyone, I am trying to perform a full vehicle simulation; however, when I replace the default rear suspension with my rear suspension model, the simulation fails. I have attached the model and the video file.

Question about a post regarding MotionView coupling with EDEM and Inspire in the community.
This post explains using Inspire to parameterize the geometry, then importing the parameterized model into EDEM, and finally coupling it with HyperStudy. I understand all the steps up to this point. However, I’m confused about the part where the parameterized geometry is imported into EDEM and then coupled with MotionView.…

Roll Center Height and lateral Displacement calculations
Hello, For my rear suspension, I have a pure trailing arm setup. I used the semi-trailing arm template and modified it by deleting the toe link and making the trailing bushings parallel to each other, according to the geometry, the roll center height should be zero should lie on the ground plane but according to the…

Running Scripted Simulation with Quasi-Static Analysis Type
In MotionSolve, when using scripted simulation, I want to run a quasi-static analysis. However, when I replace analysis_type="Transient" with analysis_type="QuasiStatic" in the analysis_type, the solver still behaves like a transient simulation. What is the correct way to set up a quasi-static analysis in scripted…

Loading H3D crash in specific conditions
I have altair 2024.1 I have a shaker vehicule model with a track, I run the simulation, everything works smoothly during motionsolve. When i try to load h3d results on motionview with review run results button, no issues at all. When i try to load h3d results with hyperview. I can load model, but when i click play my model…

Using MotionView 2024
I can't get all the available toolbars in MotionView. Reading manuals leads to looing for stuff that is just not there. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not solve it. When I use "View" to look for toolbars, they are missing and my work is stuck. Is it because we have 22 units or something else?

Difference in Force Direction Between Rigid-Body and Flexible-Body Simulations
I performed a simulation of lifting a plate using two cylinders. When the plate was modeled as a Rigid Body, the results showed that force appeared only in one cylinder, and its magnitude was nearly twice the force obtained in the flexible-body case. Therefore, I chose the flexible-body model because it provides a more…

Error of end time not specified when trying to do a EDEM coupling simulation in Altair access
Hello, im heaving trouble trying to do a EDEM coupling simulation using altair access HPC. The simulation runs with no problem in the local run, but when i try to use the HPC i got a error message saying that the end time is not specified. I already tryied to export the simulation in python and xml, but none solved the…

Exterior acoustic simulation of Motor to predict SPL using Surface velocity data a input?
Hi, I have a surface velocity data of E-motor/Engine generated by third party MBD solver in .pch file format. I would like to use this data as a excitation to predict the exterior noise at 1m distance microphones. I have looked at the documentation of IE, RADSND & APML methods in optistruct. Surface velocity required for…

Impossible de lancer le calcul MotionView – bloquant pour la suite de notre étude
Bonjour, J’ai construit un modèle de train arrière d’une petite voiture à partir de la bibliothèque de MotionView 2025. Cependant, je n’arrive pas à lancer de simulation. À chaque tentative, j’obtiens le message suivant : « Solver FAILED », sans information complémentaire. À titre de comparaison, nous avons déjà construit…

Fiala Tire Outputs/Requests - Instantanious friction coefficient (Mu vs Time Step)
Hi all, Is there an easy way to extract the instantaneous longitudinal ground friction coefficient (Mu vs Time Step) from my Fiala Tire model? I'm aware that Longitudinal Slip is already an available output, and thus, I could do some post-processing to derive Mu from the Mu_Slip_curve. However, this could lead to user…

Providing a drive and steering system to articulated tractor
Hello All, My question could be basic for many but I would need a guidance to start on this. I have a 35 tonnes tractor model having two-wheels on each side front and rear. It has to take a sharp turn of 90 degrees within its prescribed radius. For steering it articulates from the center. I would like to know, what method…

Userinput "German floating numbers"
Is there a setting in Hypermesh, Motionview, hyperview, optistruct or Inspire to let the user input floating point numbers in the german format type "0,2" instead of the english "0.2". Currently, this produces an error when inputting in the german format I did not find a potion to modify the separator directly. This would…

Several questions about the reproduction of Motionview official case MV-1029
I have gradually built the model according to the case of MV-1029, using PointToDeformableSurfaceContact for contact, but the ball and deformable surface seem to have no contact and have penetrated directly; Later on, I changed it to 3D contact and chose the contact between the ball and the deformable surface. However, the…

Joint use to modeling a plate sliding on a steep
I would like to simulate a sliding plate on a surface. Initially, the plate will slide on an inclined plane. As soon as point B comes into contact with the horizontal plane, the plate will make contact with the horizontal surface (the ground) and slide along the road profile. I have modeled it using motion functions and…

Impact function and contact are not working
Hello everyone, I would like to simulate a platform sliding on the ground supported by two wheels. Initially, I tried using the contact , but it was not effective, so I replaced it with the impact function When I disable Joint 6, the results are as expected: after the platform tilts, it slides along the desired road…

motionsolve stuck in exporting geometry
Hello, I moved from the old 2022.3 version to more recent version 2025 and 2025.1 (both have the same problem). With the newer software whenever I try to use old models or create new ones that use contact between 2 cad models (both step and parasolid) the simulation get stuck in "export geometry" and stops responding.…

A reversing vehicle follows the designed path
Hi In most vehicle dynamic analysis in MotionView/MotionSolve, the vehicle moves forward. However, I have a use-case which need the vehicle to move backward and also follow a designed curved path. I have succeeded in setting up the vehicle model which reverses along a straight line. By deactivating "Compute steering ratio"…
