Frame Shape
This node has been deprecated and only appears when opening Physics Builder files created in versions earlier than 5.3. This node is no longer needed with the updated moving frame functionality added in version 5.3.
Add a Frame Shape node () to define the motion of the moving frame, either as an expression or as degrees of freedom.
To add a Frame Shape:
•
Add a Component node under Building Blocks>Components (see Components). Or add feature nodes such as a Generic Feature or Domain Condition (see Features).
•
Right-click the node and select it from the Variables submenu.
Settings
Select a Frame motion from the list: Free (the default) or Given by expression. Choose Free to define degrees of freedom for the motion. If you choose Given by expression, enter an Expression to prescribe the motion.
