5.8.1.1. Export the RDP File

1. To export the *.rdp file, the user must define DP in Parametric Point and Parametric Value dialog box.

   

   Figure 5.69 Parametric Point dialog box

   

   Figure 5.70 Parametric Value dialog box

2. Export the *.rdp file in Export dialog box from the System Button menu. When exporting the *.rdp file, the *.rpp and the *.rpv file are created.

5.8.1.1.1. RDP File(RecurDyn Design Parameter File)

The *.rdp file includes the name of the *.rpp and the *.rdv file.

Format of the RDP file

!================================RecurDyn Design Parameter==============================
!-------------------------------------Main System---------------------------------------
#MAIN_SYSTEM
,NAME = Model1                                    #Model Name
,PARAMETRIC_VALUE = RDPFILENAME.rpv               #RPV File Name
,PARAMETRIC_POINT = RDPFILENAME.rpp               #RPP File Name

!------------------------------------------Body------------------------------------------
#BODY
,NAME = Body1                                      #Body Name
,PARAMETRIC_VALUE = RDPFILENAME_Body1.rpv          #RPV File Name
,PARAMETRIC_POINT = RDPFILENAME_Body1.rpp          #RPP File Name

!----------------------------------------Subsystem----------------------------------------
#SUB_SYSTEM
,NAME = Subsystem1                                 #Subsystem Name
,DESIGN_PARAMETER = RDPFILENAME_Subsystem1.rdp     #Subsystem RDP File Name

In case of design parameter is defined in the subsystem, the *.rdp file about the subsystem is created.

5.8.1.1.2. RPP File(RecurDyn Parametric Point File)

The file name is defined as the below forms.

• Case1: In case of the design parameter is defined in Main system.

  RDPFILENAME.rpp

• Case2: In case of the design parameter is defined in the body of the main system.

  RDPFILENAME_BodyName.rpp

• Case3: In case of the design parameter in the Subsystem.

  RDPFILENAME_SubsystemName.rpp

Format of the RPP File

!================================RecurDyn Parametric Point==============================
PP1 = 1,2,3
PP2 = 4,5,6

5.8.1.1.3. RPV File(RecurDyn Parametric Value File)

The file name is defined as the below forms.

• Case1: In case of the design parameter is defined in Main system.

  RDPFILENAME.rpv

• Case2: In case of the design parameter is defined in the body of the main system.

  RDPFILENAME_BodyName.rpv

• Case3: In case of the design parameter in the Subsystem.

  RDPFILENAME_SubsystemName.rpv

Format of the RPV File

!================================RecurDyn Parametric Value==============================
Pv2 = 2

5.8.1.2. Import the RDP File

The user can import Design Parameter File (*.rdp). The user can change Parametric Point and Parametric Value to the value of Design Parameter.
