Define the Connectivity of Motions

From the Connectivity tab of the Motions panel, select an option from the Define motion drop-down menu.

If On joint is chosen:

Click the Joint collector and select the joint to which the motion is connected from the modeling window, or double-click the Joint collector to open the Model Tree (from which the desired joint can be selected).

Note: If the selected motion is a pair entity, first distinguish between the Left and Right tabs in the panel, and then edit the properties. When defining a pair motion, use pair entities for Joint, Marker, etc.

Tip: Check the Symmetric properties option to make the motion properties symmetric. Once this option is activated, MotionView will ask you which side of the values of the pair entity (left or right) is to be used. Selecting any one side will make values of that side as “master” and the values of the other side will gray out and follow the values on the master side.
Select an option from the Properties drop-down menu.

Option	Description
Displacement	Requires no initial conditions
Velocity	Requires an initial displacement
Acceleration	Requires an initial displacement and an initial velocity

If Using markers is chosen:

Select the axis to define the translational or rotational motion.
Select an option from the Properties drop-down menu.
Click the Marker 1 and Marker 2 collectors to select the first and second markers to which to the motion is applied.

Tip: Click Data Summary to view the Data Summary table for motions.
