I am just trying to add a flexible body with a force element between two of its interface nodes to reinforce the structure.
I can't share the model, but I think what gives a good picture of the idea is a flexible model of a tuning fork, imported from a mnf file.
At the two fork Ends imagine the interface nodes which I want to connect with a GForce element (or beam)..
As Adams basically does not allow to do this I thought I just might define two GForce elements, each between the Flex Body an ground and define the forces of restitution dependent on the relative displacement of the Interface nodes (considering the Initial offset of course)
A first testmodel run internally did not make Adams complain. What I wanted to ask is if somebody knows about issues that I might come across in a later stage or knows a more elegant way to handle this.
Yes, I know where it is. From my adm-file, a typical interface marker is listed as:
! adams_view_name='ipr_interface_j_1'
MARKER/431
, FLEX_BODY = 1
, NODE_ID = 2
, QP = -575, 484, 22.89999962
So belonging to FLEX_BODY_1 and on NODE_ID =2
So I don't understand what you looked at when you say that it is not listed in adm or cmd files. You can also use the interface and the marker should be "Located at Node"
