3. End Time	Use to set the ending point of time to read the load from the imported analysis result file.	N/A
4. Skip by	Use to set the interval of frames to be loaded.	N/A
5. Show Used Body	Use to show the bodies you have chosen to use.	N/A
6. Search	Use to find the body.	N/A
7. Use	Use to set that the body will be analyzed.	N/A
8. Body Name	Use to show the body name.	N/A
9. Body Type	Use to show the body type in dynamics analysis.	N/A
10. EF Level	Use to set the EasyFlex level to do the EasyFlex analysis. The selectable levels are from 1 to 5.	N/A
11. Mat. Prop. (Material Property)	Use to set the material property.	N/A
12. Applied Loads	Use to show the loads applied to the body in dynamics analysis. Only connector forces can be shown in this way, not contact forces.	N/A
13. Fatigue	Use to set whether to perform Fatigue analysis.	N/A
14. Stress Type	Use to set the stress type. The list you can choose from is as follows. - VonMises - Signed VonMises - Max Principal - Min Principal - Max ABS Principal - Max Shear - Signed Max Shear - Average Principal If it is set not to perform Fatigue analysis, this parameter cannot be modified and is not used.
