When the target body is Rigid body, if the user wants to swap with a CAD data file, Swap using CAD Data File type can be used.
Figure 1 Swap using CAD Data File Type
•Target Converting Body: Select a target body type. In this case, please select Rigid.
•Type: Select a method how to change from FFlex to Rigid. In this case, please select Swap using CAD Data File.
•Options
•CAD Data File Path: Define a path of the file that is used to swap.
•Reference: Define a reference frame that is used to swap.
•Assist Modeling: some items can be maintained after converting process.
•Name: Maintains the name of source body.
•Initial Velocity: Maintains the initial velocity of source body.
•Joint: Maintains Joint entities related to the source body.
•Force: Maintains Force entities related to the source body.
•Geo Contact: Maintains Geo Contact entity related to the source body. Other Contact entities are not supported.
o In the case of Geo Surface Contact, the whole surface of the base or action geometry is used for the contact.
o In the case of Geo Curve Contact, the first edge of the base or action geometry is sued for the contact.
•Mass & CM Position: Maintains the mass and CM position of the source body.
•Create Mesh Data File: If this option is checked, the Mesh Data file for the current FFlex body is created in the defined directory when converting to other types.
