  • Using MNFRES :: Options for data output - can I specify a coordinate frame?

    Hello - I am using the mnfres function in the flextk toolkit to pull the nodal displacements, velocities, and accelerations for a MNF after a simulation. So far, I've been able to get some good data from it but my team and I curious to know if we can…
  • Cantilever Beam Natural Frequency

    Hello everyone, I'm a student and I'm trying find the natural frequency of a flexible cantilever beam. For the model, I used a box as the body and then used the Fixed connector at one end of the beam. After that I tried to make the beam flexible. I…
  • Adams Modeler : Sub Models

    Whenever an exported model from adams modeler is opened in Adams view it creates lot of sub models. Is there any option to get one adams view model.
  • Adams Vibration Error

    I am getting an error whenever I try to run vibration model " Database object ".model_vibration.VibrationAnalysis_1_analysis" does not exist" If I create new vibration analysis still face some issue.
  • Adams Sensor : Two Event Definition

    I want to define two events (two expressions) to trigger a sensor. Sensor should trigger when event_1 and event_2 both attain the values. e.g. when AX(mar_1,mar_2) = value 1 and when AX(mar_3,mar_4) = value 2 then sensor would trigger. Is this possible…
  • How can I find the total computational time required for completion of a dynamical simulation?

    Thank you in advance for your help.
  • Using Impose Motion with IC together with flex body

    Hello, What can be problem with using model with flexbody and motion together with IC? I am trying to use motion in bottom rev joint. Without displacement IC in motion model runs fine, same for rigid. But…
  • How to make a joint frictionless once you have modified the joint friction settings ?

    Hello I'm trying to simulate a crate falling down an inclined plane to understand the basics of MSC Adams View. I added a translational joint between the crate and the inclined plane. If I leave the joint frictional settings unmodified (shown in screenshot…

  • Measure stress in node of flexible body

    Hello, ​ Is possible to create functional measure for measuring stress in node during simulation? ​ I know just option provided by adams/durability, to see such value in postprocessor. Thanks Jozef
  • Issue with flexbody in Aview 2022.1

    Hello, I have issue with models containing flexbody. Model is possible to simulate without problem, but after some while (i.e. using Play, rewind, play several time), program always start writing bunch of warnings in message window. …
  • Is there a way to catch errors in a view macro?

    I'm trying to achieve something similar to try/catch in c++ or try/except in python.
  • I am trying to generate a request for angular momentum, so I have a measure for angular momentum of a body, but then when I reference that measure in the requests (define using function expression) it doesn't register and it just outputs 0.

    How can I fix this? I'm using Adams 2021.3.
  • Scripts for model auto-generation

    Hi Folks, Here is part of my script for auto-generation of force in a model. 1- variable create variable_name=n integer_value=1 2- while condition=(n < (eval(total_roller_number+1))) 3- force create direct general_force & 4…
  • I noticed that when using Adams View 2019.2 it was crashing a lot when solving a lot of contacts, though when I switched to 2021.3 it stopped crashing, does 2012.3 have better capability with contacts/large forces?

    I noticed that when using Adams View 2019.2 it was crashing a lot when solving a lot of contacts, though when I switched to 2021.3 it stopped crashing, does 2012.3 have better capability with contacts/large forces?
  • I want to find the forces and torques about an object's cm in all DOF and the object has many contacts with other bodies, what’s the best way to do this?

    The only thing I can think of is using the acceleration * mass of the object for the forces and for the torques to use Torque = angular acceleration * I where ‘I’ comes from angular momentum = I * angular velocity, and since Adams gives out angular accel…
