Details
This video with captions presents a simple workflow for post processing flexible bodies results without motion movements. There are 3 flexible bodies in the mechanism of the demonstration model. Local Flexible bodies results display in 2 different views with the full mechanism in a 3rd view. Playing the animation is synchronizing all views result displays. Content of the movie below: - Contour plot of 2 Flexible Bodies in 2 different views; animate in synch - Review their local deformations - Contour plot settings for both and for each - Apply Post-processing templates - Stress plots for reviewing the strength
