9.2. Modeling Step

Basically, RecurDyn/FFlex uses FE bodies created in RecurDyn/Mesher, and FE information created in external meshing programs can be imported.

  • Mesh rigid body to create FFlex body, or automatically convert imported information to suit FFlex structure.

  • Supports various functionality to generate or modify the information.

It is very easy to define a relation between a:

  • FFlex body

  • Rigid body or another FFlex body

The system that is built with such connections is analyzed and the results are post processed using normal RecurDyn techniques. In addition, various additional post processing results are generated for each Flex body. These results make it convenient to investigate the behavior of the flexible body.
