_mbd.h3d file
The _mbd.h3d file is a compressed binary file containing both model and result data from a multibody dynamics analysis. It can be used to post-process results in HyperView.
File Creation
This file is created when a multibody dynamics subcase is executed.
File Contents
The _mbd.h3d file contains node and element definitions in addition to the
following results:
- Data
- Description
- Displacement
- Displacement results from static, frequency response, transient response, and multibody dynamics analyses.
- Deformation > Displacement
- Deformations (deflections) of flexible bodies from multibody dynamics analyses in the body reference frame.
- Deformation > Rotation
- Deformation (rotations) of flexible bodies from multibody dynamics analyses in the body reference frame.
- Strain
- Strain results of flexible bodies from a multibody dynamics analysis.
- Stress
- Stress results of flexible bodies from a multibody dynamics analysis.
Comments
- This file format is the most compressed animation output for multibody dynamics analyses. It generates the smallest files compared to other formats.
