Basically, RecurDyn/FFlex uses FE information that is created in an external meshing program.
•Automatically converts the information to suit the FFlex structure. You will typically import a mesh to define a FFlex body.
•Supports limited functionality to generate or modify the information.

It is very easy to define a relation between a:
•FFlex body
•Rigid body or another FFlex body
The system that is built with such connections is analyzed and the results are post processed using normal RecurDyn techniques. In addition, various additional post processing results are generated for each Flex body. These results make it convenient to investigate the behavior of the flexible body.
