GForce - 2 Points -One Body (from mnf)

Hello!
 
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.   
 
Kind Regards

  • Yes, you are absolutely right about the .adm-File. I just got lost in the test model file I created... Thats why naming is so important :/
    ​The question came up when I started creating .cmd-scripts for automated modeling steps. So when I create markers for specific modeling elements, like forces or constraints, I usually create new markers on those parts defined basically by.
    1. part
    2. location
    3. orientation 
    ​For the location I use loc_relative_to , for orientation ori_relative_to. For me it was not intuitive that this means that the elements are finally connected to that particular node.
    ​Thanks for the reply!
