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.
Use the Outputs tool to create a result output request to the solver, which writes out the requested data for plotting data.
Use the Templates tool to create and edit blocks of text that contain data fields and programming instructions.
The Run Solver tool allows you to run the solution for the MotionView model using MotionSolve.
The View Reports dialog displays a report list of all reports generated from an analysis task run.
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.
In the 2022.1 release, MotionSolve has new capabilities for optimizing multibody systems.
The first step in the Optimization process is to identify the Design Variables (DVs) in your model.
The Responses step of the wizard allows you to add Response Variables (RVs) to an optimization study.

The Solution step of the wizard allows you to specify optimization and simulation settings and perform an optimization run.
The Review Results step of the wizard allows you to review the results once the optimization solution has successfully completed.
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.
