MNF flex_body creation options

Question

I am an Adam user with limited FEA background. I would like to know how I can properly create an MNF file using Nastran to represent linear flexibility in Adams.

Could I have a template with explanation on the important command lines in the Nastran deck?

Hello,

In order to create an MNF file to represent linear flexibility in Adams, we can take advantage of Nastran SOL 103, Normal Modes Analysis, plus ADAMSMNF command.

A detailed knowledge base article can be found at:

simcompanion.mscsoftware.com/.../index

where all the related Nastran SOL 103 commands are explained for no-FEA users. A template is also provided for ease of setup.

Thanks,
