Create a Kinematic Setup

The Create Kinematic Setup dialog with default ride parameters and coordinates

A Kinematic Setup sets a model's default parameters and the coordinate systems that position and move its Parts. It's based on a kinematic model, which defines what can move and how.

  1. In the sidebar, under Setup & CAD, click Kinematic Setups.
  2. Click New Kinematic Setup.
  3. In Create Kinematic Setup, choose the Programme and enter a Name (up to 100 characters), plus an optional Description.
  4. Choose the Kinematic Model. The buttons next to it let you edit the model, copy it, create a new one or delete it.
  5. Under Default Ride Parameters, enter a value for every parameter. These apply to any Attitude whose Map doesn't set its own value.
  6. Under Kinematic Setup Coordinates, enter each coordinate system the model needs:
    • Use the units toggle to switch between metres and millimetres.
    • For symmetric models, Reflect to Right fills in the right-hand side from the left.
    • View Setup shows the coordinates on the model.
  7. Click Save, or Save and Continue to keep editing. "Form currently incomplete" means a required value is still missing.

Note

The kinematic models on your Account decide what you can configure. If you need a model you don't have, contact support@bramblecfd.com.
