Solid Motion Effects — Articulation options

Option	Description
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical listing of existing folders. To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Region
Group Reference	Applies the articulation region to the selected group. For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select polygon faces to define the extent of the articulation.Excluded lets you remove elements from within your selected object. The software does not apply the simulation object to the excluded elements.Note: The Element Selection Filtering options are available when the Type Filter list on the Top Border bar is set to Elements.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Joint Selection
Joint	Specifies a Joint or Joint - Orbital Tracker modeling object to define the articulation movement.Select a modeling object from the list, or click Open Manager to define a new modeling object.Click Edit to modify the specified modeling object.
