11.1.2.2. Method: RIGID to RFLEX

If a Rigid body is selected as a source body for G-Manager, FFlex and RFlex body can be converted. When the target body is RFlex body, only one method is supported to convert RFlex body.

11.1.2.2.1. (3) RFlex : Swap using RFI File

When the target body is RFlex body, if the user wants to swap with a RFI file, Swap using RFI File type can be used.

Figure 11.10 Swap using RFI File Type

• Target Converting Body: Select a target body type. In this case, please select RFlex.

• Type: Select a method how to change from Rigid to RFlex.

• Options

  • RFI File Path: Define a path of the file that is used to swap.

  • Reference: Define a reference frame that is used to swap.

• Additional Options

• Assist Modeling: some items can be maintained after converting process.

  • Name: Maintains the name of source body.

  • Initial Velocity: Maintains the initial velocity of source body.

  • Joint: Maintains Joint entities related to the source body.

  • Force: Maintains Force entities related to the source body.

  • Geo Contact: Maintains Geo Contact entity related to the source body. Other Contact entities are not supported.

    • In the case of Geo Surface Contact, a Patch Set is created for the whole surface of the base or action geometry.

    • In the case of Geo Curve Contact, a Line Set is created for the first edge of the base or action geometry.

• Create CAD Data File: If this option is checked, the CAD file for the original rigid body is created in the defined directory when converting to other types.
