Difference between part_x_form and part.CM results when contact forces are present?

Accelerations with Adams_postprocessor/object/body/CM_acceleration
&
Accelerations with Adams_postprocessor/Result Sets/part_xform/ACCZ
are different for dynamic simulation with contact forces present in the model.
Can anyone help me with this odd behviour ?
or
Can anyone tell me how part_xform measures result and which marker it considers ?

  • Of course it is. They are different points. The XFORM describes the motion of the LPRF (Local Part Reference Frame). This is the global location of the part (right click on the part and select 'Info' and loc for location and orientation). Very often the LPRF is located at global origin, this will always be the case if you created your part by drag and drop geometries instead of explicitly creating he part through the command navigator.
