     User Defined Rigid Body Frequency

The user can define Rigid Body Frequency.

     Animation with no deformation results

    If this option is checked, deformed shapes are not displayed during playing animation. It is useful to speed up because it tacks a long time to display deformed shapes.

    If this option is not checked, deformed shapes are displayed during playing animation. (This option is default.)

     Without RFA File

The user can use these options to improve animation speed without RFA file.

    Animation with Modal Coordinate Limit

If this option is checked, the user can input a modal coordinate limit.

This value limit no. of used mode to calculate deformation of RFlex Body.

If the option is not check, Deformation of RFlex body is calculated by using all mode. (This option is default.)

    Animation with External Node Only

If the option is checked, Deformation of RFlex body is calculated about external nodes only.

If the option is not check, deformation of RFlex body is calculated about all nodes. (This option is default.)

 

     Marker Generation

This option helps you to generate node markers at nodes. Two methods are supplied. The one is that you can generate node markers in a range. The second is that you can generate node markers at the selected node ID. This marker can be used to connect joint or force on a flexible body. If interface nodes exist, you can regenerate the marker of these nodes on flexible body.

     Regeneration Interface Node Marker

The user can regenerate markers on interface nodes. Maximum number of creating markers located on the Interface Nodes can be defined in RFlex tab in the Flexibility dialog.
