  • Using MNFRES :: Options for data output - can I specify a coordinate frame?

    Hello - I am using the mnfres function in the flextk toolkit to pull the nodal displacements, velocities, and accelerations for a MNF after a simulation. So far, I've been able to get some good data from it but my team and I curious to know if we can…
  • When I am exporting numeric data via commands, how can I prevent the GUI from popping asking about back-ups?

    As the title says, I'm automating exporting numeric data, but if files already exist I get pop-ups asking if I want to make back-ups. Is there a way to default to yes or no? Thank you! With Regards, Jason

  • Adams Sensor : Two Event Definition

    I want to define two events (two expressions) to trigger a sensor. Sensor should trigger when event_1 and event_2 both attain the values. e.g. when AX(mar_1,mar_2) = value 1 and when AX(mar_3,mar_4) = value 2 then sensor would trigger. Is this possible…
