  • Script to edit 100 .res or .req files

    I have 100 results file from ADAMS and also requests. Now i want to read each file. For each file i want to clip away the unsteady part ( say time <500ms) and find average of the value. Is there any easy way to do it in ADAMS itself as a part of simulation…
  • What does the torque measure ouput for contacts, like where is it measuring the torque around? I'm trying to get the resultant torque on a body that has many contact, what's the best way to do this?

  • Change default simulation script through command language?

    I have a model that can configure itself into several vehicle configurations (based on a gui menu) and it contains several solver scripts (SIM_SCRIPT_Config1, SIM_SCRIPT_Config2, etc). Depending on the configuration the preferred solver script changes…
  • Saving Temporal results using Adams/Insight

    Hi All, I would like to know if there is a way to save the ".res" and ".gra" files for each run in a Doe within Adams/Insight. I know that in a normal operation it does not save the time series plots for each run but I need to retrieve the…
  • Hi, Does anyone know what changes must be made to Nastran header to export the stress/strain modes for a composite material body? The standard commands for isotropic materials don't seem to work.

  • How are the balls in a ball bearing numbered when using Bearing AT ?

    I have requested for the Rolling Elements data and I have the load data segregated as Ball_1_Load, Ball_2_Load and so on. I need to have precise details of which ball exactly is being refereed to. If anyone has any idea, it would be of great help.
  • How to write design variables into a joint motion function with python.

    In the included code, the last line is giving me a problem. In the motion function, I need to insert the design variables. The division part of the motion function really wants to look like this: (mod.DesignVariables['DesignBasis'].value[0]…
  • Looking for some advice for planetary gearbox modelling in A/Car

    Hello everyone. I'm working on a model of a planetary gearbox to be implemented in a full vehicle assembly in Adams Car. I decided to built it with Machinery planetary sets as I need to simulate the gears teeth interaction. I've built…
  • General questions about contact best practices, and trying to speed up simulations:

    #1) Is there a general convention of which body to make the i or j body in contact for best performance? i.e. the larger body should be i, smaller should be j. #2) Regarding complex geometry, I noticed that it is suggested to split apart geometry…
  • Does someone have python-Adams examples

    Hey guys, I am looking into using python scripts in Adams instead of the command language. So far I have found 2 examples scripts in the 'adamspy' folder and the help function also provides some examples and classes definitions. However…
  • What is the difference between Primitives and General constraint?

    I was reading one old ADAMS tutorial where the instructor used General constraints. At that time inline primitives option was not available. Now both options are available in the new version. It makes me confused to differentiate between them. Kindly…
  • ADAMS/Car - Control of the Initial Conditions

    Hello, In the ADAMS/Car after the simulation is submitted, then the initial condition simulation, static simulation and dynamic simulation are executed. In my model there is a lot of variables which set during initial condition simulation…
  • Does Adams View follow the specific rule to calculate the cm marker orientation?

    I have a Damper, I used ORI_IN_PLANE to parameterize the orientation of the piston and cylinder. When I apply the function I get exactly the same orientation (design variable still is the same-standard value). However cm-marker orientation is changed…
  • variable set Vs. variable modify

    hello everyone. Im the fresh for command. Could someone tell me, whats the difference the variable set and variable modify. Best way with example. Of couse, I have read the help doc. But its till mess for me. thanks in advanced. zhenhui…
  • Any examples of modeling nets in Adams?

    For example, a net to capture a falling object. (A secondary mechanism for closing the net is involved) Some approaches come to mind, such as a grid of beams connected by small spheres, but I'd rather not go down that path if a proven approach…

  • Is there a way to set a motion statement to rotate an object around each of it's own axis?

    I can only figure out how to move it in reference to another object, and setting an initial velocity won't work for this scenario.
  • Changing Tire from an R14 to an R16 is not changing the suspension stroke.

    Changing the Tire Specification from an R14 inch to an R16 inch tire does not change bump stopper clearance in static equilibrium. That means no stroke change. In fact, the chassis CG has increased in-lieu with the tire change. I cannot imagine this happening…
  • Why are my contact forces are still acting even when not visibly touching?

    I have a body pushing on a second body, using the contact force . The first body pushes on the second one and they separate; the second body is then not connected anything and when the contact has no friction the second body just drifts off at a constant…

    Is there any way that we can find the direction of the axes of the local coordinate system with respect to the global coordinate system? suppose that each axis is a unit vector, can I calculate the direction of the axis unit vector with respect to the…
  • i am running doe in adams view through adams insight. it gives following warning. but no such result file .last_run_2 exist in model.

    model is fresh without any analysis. still it is giving warning. After importing single results file in postprocessor two files get imported. with same name. please suggest solution. please also comment on first warning
