11.1.2. Changing Body by using G-Manager

RecurDyn/G-Manager supports several types of source body which change to target body. The supported various methods of G-Manager is determined by source body type.

So, it is possible for users to change to another body type from a Rigid body, a FFlex body, a RFlex body by using G-Manager functions.

It is first necessary to select the source body. A source body is one of the Rigid, RFlex, FFlex body.

Thus, the dialog appears as shown in the below.

Figure 11.4 G-Manager dialog box

G-Manager dialog is slightly different depending on the source body type that is selected. Also, different method of change is provided in accordance with each type.

A selected source body types and the method provided according to the selected source body are as shown in the below.
