  • It's not the glass, it's the content!

    So this brand new MSC FB knock off is what you guys think would attract more users ? The "old" Forum that had more than 200.000 members and only one or two posts a day. That's suspiciously low participation and I donÄt think it's due to young…
  • Sometimes the legend for showing the deformation color map is inactive and it is not possible to activate it. However other distributions like strain or stress seem OK. Please let me know how it can be fixed.

    I have not changed my MNF but all of the sudden happen.

  • Hi I want to use Adams controls by importing a Simulink Model that contains a Legacy S-function which calls .dll to work.

    After generating the .dll with modified target file by Adams, and generating a .esl file that I attach to my Control System in Adams, when I simalate no error appear but simulation does not run. I wonder how one should attach all the external dependencies…

  • What's the best approach for connecting Flex to Rigid bodies

    Hello, I am trying to model a flexible body between two rigid bodies. I want the flexible body to be compressed or depressed based on the motion of the bottom and top rigid bodies. In this picture, the blue and green parts are rigid…

  • Flex to rigid contact modeling is giving very high peaks in forces

    I am modeling a flex to rigid contact. In this I have two queries. First is regarding IMPACT function, it works decently well when surfaces remain in contact. But where there is frequent attach-detach scenario, I am getting random and impractical forces…
  • Properties of FE_Part Cable Bending Around Surface

    I'm trying to represent a thin preloaded cable that slides/bends around a contact surface using an FE_PART. I'm struggling to get the isotropic material properties of the FE_PART set so that it is stiff enough in tension and weak enough in bending to…
  • Deriving the motion equations

    Hello, Is there a way to automatically derive the motion equations for a model I've set up in Adams? Thanks, Josef K.

  • Repeated ADAMS<=>Imported Simulink Control simulations crashes ADAMS

    I have an ADAMS <=>Simulink Controls Import (as an ESL DLL) working, but it only runs the FIRST time. Running a 2nd time causes ADAMS to crash. Beside the Simulink Contorl Import ESL GSE, my ADAMS model also has a user-defined GFORCE subroutine (DLL)…
  • Effect of Shock absorber Damper force variation on wheel hub force (Vertical Direction) and Damper attachment load is opposite in nature.

    Changing Damper force has the following effect on loads 1) With default Damper properties the wheel Hub load is X and the shock absorber mount load is Y (checking the peak load & RMS loads) 2) Decreasing Damper force (i.e.., Damping coefficient…
  • Conditional behavior in solver script

    I've got a model with contacts that is being run with several thousand cases in a Monte Carlo through the external solver. It runs statics and then dynamics. 99% of the cases run fine but a handful of them fail to obtain a static solution. The easiest…
  • Is it possible to constraint a curve to a discrete flexible link ?

    I would like to constraint a ring to slid around a tube. The tube is a discrete flexible link and it is gradually bent by a force at one end. I would like to use point-curve constraint (PTCV) but I can't constraint the curve to the moving tube. Is it…
