    Sundeep,
     
    You would need to go to the Advanced Settings to (a) properly generate a mesh and (b) select proper attachment points. When generating the attachment points, you would need to carefully create RBE2 elements to connect the attachment marker (master node) to the slave nodes on surfaces, edges, or similar.
     
    If you need help with this and have access to our eLearning courses, I recommend that you go through the course ADM710 . For more details on ViewFlex, you can review section 11.
     
    I hope this helps.
     
    Thanks,
    Maziar

    Hey Maziar I am saying that mnf has failed because its showing the error(mnf creation failed) dialogue box when I hit the viewflex to generate mesh after providing this as an input.

    This is the answer of your first part how I can say that mnf creation failed and ViewFlex has failed to create the flexible body part
     
    Talking about the lisence part I am doing this flex analysis in Adams view which is endorsed with lisence,I have adams flex licence too but its no way related as I am doing this flex in Aview itself
    Now I am attaching fo6 file
    Pls solve this issue as immediate as possible
     
    If you want I can provide u the database as well

    And this is the fbl_tmp_mesh_0.mnf file that have been generated during viewflex inspite of showing error in Aview.I am calling this file in Adams/flex and got these 4 files generated.
    (missing image)
    Am I going in right direction
    I want to do flex of the lower control arm using Viewflex in Aview itself but since I got the mnf file created(inspite its showing error that mnf creation failed in Aview),can I directly use this mnf file in Acar to flex the lower control arm
    Pls guide me
