As part of the R2025x FD03 user assistance, SIMULIA R&D created a 3DEXPERIENCE tutorial that illustrates how to use flexible bodies to effectively consider the elastic deformation of a body. In Motion Analysis, the model simulates a mini excavator, whereas in Suspension Analysis, it represents a wheel axle system. Your objective is to convert an existing rigid body to a flexible body, configure the flexible body, and then visualize its motion.

To complete this tutorial yourself, you must have access to the Motion Analyst, or Suspension Analyst app. Once you have access to one of these apps, see
Motion Analysis: Creating, Configuring, and Visualizing Flexible Bodies
or
Suspension Analysis: Creating, Configuring, and Visualizing Flexible Bodies
to get started.
The 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Examples Team would like to hear your ideas for new examples. If you have an idea, please leave a comment below so that the team can contact you. The team also welcomes feedback on any of its existing examples.
