Using the Dynamic Simulation Information in Stress Analysis

Once you've exported the information from the Dynamic Simulation environment, you can select the Environments tab and select the Stress Analysis button to enter that environment. Follow these general steps:

1. Click the Create Simulation button, or right-click an existing simulation and choose Edit Simulation Properties.
2. In the Simulation Properties dialog box, select the Motion Loads Analysis check box, and then select the part and time step on which you intend to run the simulation analysis. Then click OK.
3. Make modifications to the simulation parameters if needed, and then run the simulation.

You should note that a motion loads analysis is limited to a single part occurrence and a single ...
