Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Create and edit systems, assemblies, and analyses, use wizards to build models quickly, create and edit belt/pullies,
NLFE stabars, and NLFE springs, access the EDEM and Track Builder tools.
Create and edit points, bodies, lines (curve graphics), solids (graphics), markers and vectors, edit grounded/ungrounded
bodies, create and edit rigid body groups, configure gravity, and select material properties.
Create and edit outputs, create and edit templates, run the solver, view reports, access the Load Export utility,
use the Optimization Wizard, open HyperStudy, utilize many pre-processing and post-processing capabilities with regards
to flexible bodies (or flexbodies), run MS/EDEM cosimulation in batch mode, and generate H3D from EDEM.
An external module invoked from MotionView. This module allows you to take loads from an ADAMS run and create a tabular summary file or a Nastran input card for those loads.
A metadata file is automatically generated when you save the active MDL model as an ADAMS or MotionSolve deck or you
run a solver analysis on the active model.
HyperStudy allows you to perform Design of Experiments (DOE), optimization, and stochastic studies in a CAE environment. It
allows you to study the different aspects of a design under various conditions, including non-linear behaviors. It
can be applied in the multi-disciplinary optimization of a design combining different analysis types.
The FlexBody Prep wizard allows you to create the flex H3D file from several sources, including an ADAMS MNF file, a NASTRAN
PCH file, and a mirrored H3D file. You can also generate an H3D file using OptiStruct, a finite element analysis solver.
The Model Identification Tool, known as MIT, is a profile in HyperGraph for fitting test data from frequency- and amplitude-dependent bushings to analytical models. This tool operates in conjunction
with HyperGraph, MotionView, and MotionSolve to provide you with a comprehensive solution for modeling and analysis.

The Load Export utility is used in conjunction with MotionView
to perform the above mentioned functions. To use this utility, you must specify the
components in an MBD model for which loads are to be processed. You can do this by using the
MotionView GUI or editing the MDL MBD model file to add force
output requests on bodies. After an MBD analysis on a model using ADAMS, you will get an
ADAMS request file and a metadata file (a MotionView ASCII file
that contains information of force output on a body) that are used as the input files for
the utility. The application scope of Load Export is shown below:
Metadata File Generation and Format
MotionView supports force requests on body entities. To provide
detailed information about the forces acting on a given body entity, MotionView automatically generates a metadata file if there are active
force requests on body entities in the active model. For more information, see the Metadata
File Generation and Metadata File Format topics.
To run the Load Export utility:
From the Analyze ribbon, Results tool set, click the
Reports icon.
Metadata File Generation
A metadata file is automatically generated when you save the active MDL model as an ADAMS or MotionSolve deck or you run a solver analysis on the active model.
Metadata File Format
The metadata file consists of multiple data blocks denoted by keyword pairs.
