An external module invoked from MotionView. This module
allows you to take loads from an ADAMS run and create a tabular
summary file or a Nastran input card for those loads.
The Load Export utility is used in conjunction with MotionView
to perform the above mentioned functions. To use this utility, you must specify the
components in an MBD model for which loads are to be processed. You can do this by using the
MotionView GUI or editing the MDL MBD model file to add force
output requests on bodies. After an MBD analysis on a model using ADAMS, you will get an
ADAMS request file and a metadata file (a MotionView ASCII file
that contains information of force output on a body) that are used as the input files for
the utility. The application scope of Load Export is shown below:

Metadata File Generation and Format
MotionView supports force requests on body entities. To provide
detailed information about the forces acting on a given body entity, MotionView automatically generates a metadata file if there are active
force requests on body entities in the active model. For more information, see the Metadata
File Generation and Metadata File Format topics.
To run the Load Export utility:
From the Analyze ribbon, Results tool set, click the
Reports icon.
