Accessing Modal DOF of Reduced Order Flexible Solid in Simscape Multibody

I wanted to ask a follow-up to a question asked last year:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1720500-how-to-access-internal-modal-degrees-of-freedom-for-a-reduced-order-felxible-solid-in-simscape-multi#answer_969925

And see if there are any near term plans to include a means to output the modal DOF internal to a reduced order flexible body. Accessing both the boundary displacements and the modal DOF are crucial for evaluating internal loads in a model being developed.

Thank you,

John

You can add additional frames to the body to access deformations of specific locations. Exposing all modal DOFs is still not yet automatically provided but is still on our enhancement list. Thanks for following up with us about it.
