MotionView Panels

The MotionView tool buttons are displayed on the various toolbars when a model is loaded in the active window.

A summary of each model tool is presented below and a description of each panel follows:

Button	Panel/Tool	Description
	Graphic Entity Attributes	Sets options for graphic entities.
	Run Solver	Submits a solver run.
	Entity Selector	Sets the graphic screen selection mode.
	System/Assemby	Allows you to create and save systems/assemblies, to modify system/assembly attachments, and to set system options and initial conditions.
	Analysis	Allows you to create and save an analysis, to modify analysis attachments, and to set analysis options and initial conditions.
	Command Sets	Allows you to create command sets for the solver-command file. The command sets for a model are order dependent since they define the contents of the solver command file.
	Points	Allows you to create points and to edit point coordinates.
	Bodies	Allows you to edit the mass properties, orientation rules, and initial conditions for bodies.
	Vectors	Allows you to create vectors and to edit vector components.
	Markers	Allows you to create markers and to edit location and orientation rules for markers.
	Curves	Allows you to create and edit curves. Curves hold x-y data for nonlinear properties. This panel has similar options as the Define Curves panel in HyperGraph.
	Spline3D	Allows you to add and edit three dimensional spline data.
	Graphics	Allows you to change the graphical attributes of entities in your model. Graphical attributes include color, state, and rendering method.
	Surfaces	Allows you to create surfaces for use with advanced joint entities.
	Deformable Curves	Allows you to create and edit deformable curves. These curves can change their shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.
	Deformable Surfaces	Allows you to create and edit deformable surfaces. These entities can change shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.
	Joints	Allows you to edit properties, connectivity, orientation rules, and initial conditions for joints.
	Motions	Allows you to create motions and to edit the initial conditions, displacements, velocities, and acceleration of joints.
	Couplers	Allows you to edit joint couplers.
	Gears	Allows you to create a gear entity to relate the motion of two joints.
	Advanced Joints	Allows you to create a set of joints where points, curves and surfaces stay in contact throughout the simulation.
	General Constraints	Allows you to create a generic expression based constraint.
	Forces	Allows you to create forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces.
	Modal Forces	Allows you to create modal forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces
	Bushings	Allows you to edit the orientation, connectivity, stiffness, damping, and preloads of bushings.
	Fields	Allows you to create and edit fields to relate forces between two bodies.
	Spring Dampers	Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and initial conditions of springs and dampers.
	Beams	Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and orientations of beams.
	Polybeams	Allows you to edit the connectivity, properties, and points of a polybeam.
	Contacts	Allows you to set contact data.
	Solver Variables	Allows you to set solver variable data
	Solver Arrays	Allows you to set solver array data.
	Solver Strings	Allows you to set solver string data.
	Solver Differential Equations	Allows you to set solver differential equations
	Control SISOs	Allows you to set control entity data.
	Sensors	Allows you to create and edit a sensor entity to modify the solver behavior during simulation.
	Control State Equations	Allows you to set control state equations.
	Outputs	Allows you to create and edit output and requests such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force.
	Datasets	Allows you to access user-defined datasets.
	Templates	Allows you to insert segments of text into your model.
	Forms	Allows you to edit data stored in user-defined panels.
