Free Body Diagram (FBD)
Calculate free-body forces, moments, displacements, and rotation.
- Create and view free-body section forces and moments
- Show trace plots
- Generate .fbd files to create potato and VMT plots in HyperGraph 2D
- Generate reports, loads and fields from free-body forces, moments, displacements and rotations
- The result file must have stored nodal forces output. For OptiStruct and Nastran the OUTPUT request is GPFORCES. For Abaqus it is NFORC and for ANSYS it is NLOAD.
- Before using any of the free-body tools, result files must be imported.
