Apply tension to a seatbelt for testing using the tensioning option.
The tensioning option in the Seatbelt entity context allows you to simulate the
tensioning process on a seatbelt. You can define the tensioning force, contact
friction, and the pulling of the belt (start or end).
-
Right-click the appropriate seatbelt entity and select
Tensioning from the context menu.
- Optional:
Set options as necessary by clicking the
menu.
-
On the guide bar, click the
Tension button.
This will start the tension process. A status bar in the lower left corner informs you of the evolution of the
process.
-
From the microdialog, use the Cut
End slider to cut the tensioned belt at the initial end or start
location.
-
Click Update Nodes to update the seatbelt with the shape
of the selected simulation step.
