display the legend of the results during the animation

[elsi25]

Hello,

when I run a simulation in ADAMS/VIEW the bodies get diffreent colors. I guess ADAMS displays by default the deformation of the bodies but I'm not sure. Is there a way to display the legend of the parameters shown during the animation (with name, unit and ranges) like in ANSYS?

Thank you in advance

No, the colors of the bodies you see in a normal animation are assigned during the model build process. If you want to measure stuff, use the measure menu.

Thank you for your answer
but I didn't assign any color. Perhaps it's the default setting.
How can I assign colors during the model build process?
Can I measure the deformation (or stress) of the hole body?

Best regards

Right click on a part. Drill down to the appearance and then color property. Change it.

Click on build. click on measure Click on Point to Point. Identify which marker you want to measure the position of, and relative to what.

Hello,

thank you for your answer. I mean that each body becomes different colors: red, blue and yellow: for me it seems to be like the ranges for a parameter (for example deformation).
I hope you understand now what I mean

thanks

I have forgotten to mention that the bodies are flexible. May be an idea what the diffrent colors on each body mean?

Best regards

Sorry i don't use flexible bodies in View. i assume you have looked in help, done the tutorial, and contacted support?
