The material, initial velocity, geometry and assembly of an assembled body can be modified in its properties dialog. The parameters on the initial velocity tab are introduced in Solid Body Properties. Material parameters such as the mass properties are defined in the table and figure below.
Figure 3.52: Description of Material parameters in the Assembled Body properties dialog
Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension (Range) |
1. Body Type | N/A | Use to select the body type. When the type is set to Nodal EasyFlex Body. This type is available when the material type is defined as in the part. When the type is set to , the body will be treated as Modal EasyFlex Body. This type is available when a Dynamic Flexible Data File (*.DFMF) is defined in the part. The related parameters for an EasyFlex body can be defined from a Solid in the part file. | , the body will be treated as a rigid body. When the type is , the body will be treated asN/A |
2. Material | N/A | Use to select the material type for calculating the mass properties of the body. The functionalities of the Material Properties. When the type is set to , the mass properties use the values calculated from the part file. | , and options are same as forN/A |
Parameters on the Assembly tab are defined in the following table and figure.
