When plotting using the .abf file, the requests appear
under the REQSUB type. The Bushing label (“AutoBush 0” in this example) is added to the
request type (“Force-Bushing”,”Displacement Bushing”, etc.) and put in the Request Description
to help you understand requests when plotting them. The Bushing label can be changed in the
MotionView graphical user interface to provide a meaningful
description of the bushing. Figure 1. AutoBush Requests Using The .abf File
When plotting data using the .plt file the requests appear under
the User Defined request type: Figure 2. AutoBush Requests Using The .plt File
Data is reported in the following columns in the .abf and
.plt files:
