Reaction moments are only applicable to element with nodes having degrees of freedom in rotation. This is not the case for solids as they only have 3 degrees of freedom per node (3 translations, but no rotation). So how can we get reaction moments on fixed faces of Solid Bodies?
If your moving back and forth wondering how the mysterious Blackbox works to it’s full potential,
I’ve taken the liberty of quickly listing the steps required to create a Blackbox, convert it to a symbol and then associate a part to it.
Here are the steps:
1) Draw the black box
2) Turn Snap on, add Connection points
The Preview tab, in the Local Vault View, can be optimized for performance,while still allowing for eDrawing functionality. The preview can be set-up to initially display a low overhead bitmap, which can switched to the eDrawings viewer by left clicking the bitmap.

With ECO’s/ECN’s, consistency of data input can be ensured by populating the ECO’s/ECN’s with Variables (Custom Properties) entered through Data Cards. These ECO’s/ECN’s are often in the form of a Word or Excel documents. In this article we will look look at creating a link between a property in Excel to a data card variable.
Sometimes it is important to control who is allowed to see specifications in certain states or control who is allowed to perform certain transitions. To control who is allowed see a state or transition in a specification we need to edit the originating state:

This is where most of the work on the specification flow is done. The user interface has several different panels that we will explore in order based on need. Read More »
If another paused state is added then we can see the effect on the specification flow.
To add an additional state to the workflow click Add State, call it middle
This workflow has all the required states, but no method to transition in between them. The minimum number of transitions is one each way.
Specification flow in DriveWorks can be a tricky beast to understand because there are a lot of interacting elements to it. However broken down each element is very simple. To help our customers better take advantage of this functionality I am going to do a multipart series on the topic. The first step is to understand the flow, what are the elements and what do the arrows mean, and what are the differences between the titles and the names.
The default specification flow looks like this:
