Chapter 4: Reviewing Multibody Analysis Results

Results from a flexible multibody analysis consist mainly of displacements, velocities, accelerations, stresses, strains, and reaction forces in structural components. Constraint forces, current relative positions, relative velocities, and relative accelerations in joint elements are also available.

Results are available for viewing in POST1, the general postprocessor (/POST1), or in POST26, the time-history postprocessor (/POST26).

For a description of the available output components, see the Output Data sections of the element descriptions for any of the elements that model the flexible components, rigid components, and joint elements.

The following topics concerning how to review flexible multibody analysis results are available:
