Hello

I am wondering how can I get the description of the function variables that are available inside the function manager, when using NX motion simulation?

For example, when I define a slider joint and I want to move forward and backward, I can define its drive function as a STEP function.

NX provides the form of the function as the following
STEP(x,x0,h0,x1,h1)
However, how would I know the meaning of each variable?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Steph.

You can find the definition of the functions in the Online-Help of NX under
Simcenter 3D - Simcenter Motion - Motion Solvers - ADAMS - General Adams functions.

For the Step-Function the meaning of the variables are:

x: independet variable, e.g. Time
x0: x Value at the beginning
x1: x Value at the end
ho: Initial value of the step (y Value)
h1: final value of the step (y Value)

e.g. STEP(Time,0,0,1,2) gives you a movement from e.g. displacement 0 to 2 from second 0 to second 1.

Regards
