adams_car_flexbody 1

Hello,

I am building a cart in Adams Car and I wanted to ask if there are any specific steps in importing a flexible body. So far I have modelled my subsysetms and added a part for the chassis which I am later going to make flexible by importing an MNF file. Are there any specific steps that I should follow before importing the MNF file to Adams Car? Should I define hardpoints where the chassis is connected to the subsystems in order for it to properly receive the loads from the track?

Thanks,

Josef K.

Yes always make sure you have hardpoints on the body part to match the nodes on the flex body. Otherwise you'll get unexpected results.

Hello,

Other than that, is the process as simple as just importing the mnf file? Are there no extra steps necessary?

It's a long time since I've done it, but yes I think that is it.
