Run Solver - ADAMS and Abaqus
The Run Solver tool allows you to either run the current model or run an existing ADAMS or Abaqus command file generated previously by MotionView.
Note: The options listed below apply to ADAMS and Abaqus solver mode.
If MotionSolve has been selected as the solver,
additional options are available. See the Run
topic for more information.
From the Analyze ribbon, click the Run icon.
The following options are available in the Run Motion Analysis dialog:
