Exporting the Motion Model

When exporting to Simcenter Amesim for co-simulation, the Simcenter 3D Motion model is exported to Simcenter Amesim as a "sub-model". Therefore, the Simcenter 3D Motion user needs to specify Export in the Mechatronics dialog.

To export the Simcenter 3D Motion model to Simcenter Amesim the user should launch a solution using the Simcenter 3D Motion solver, which will then write out the Simcenter 3D Motion model for use in Simcenter Amesim. This solution will write a file with solution name and the extension of .vlcosim. This file will be written to the working directory of the simulation model.
