- 1). Click on the "Motion Manager" button, select "Type of study" and choose "Joint forces."
- 2). Place markers on the timeline bar indicating the temporal bounds of the simulation.
- 3). Click on the "Force" button in the "Property Manager."
- 4). Set your force data points, which are a function of cycle angle, motion direction, magnitude or time. You can also define the motion parameters mathematically if you are working with an operable equation.
- 5). Choose whether your project involves "friction forces," "contact forces" or both.
- 6). Highlight the "X," "Y" and "Z" axes on which on the prototype will act.
- 7). Select "Plot Results" to view the simulation results.
