Cycles window¶

The Cycles window features enable you to maintain cycle and modals definitions used to interpret "CYCLE" records. This feature is especially useful if simulated cycle motions are not displayed as expected. When Optimizer cannot find definitions to interpret a CYCLE record, an error similar to "Invalid CYCLE record" error is issued. In these cases, cycle definitions must be modified to correctly interpret the cycle data.
