Creating a flexible body event

Using the Flexible Body Event command you can create a flexible body load event to perform durability analysis based on a Motion Simulation file, flexible solution, and flexible body that you defined.

The Simulation file must be a Simcenter 3D Motion Simulation file. For more information, see Create the motion mechanism for flexible body dynamics.

You can also define the load length and assign a temperature source to the load event.
