  • NearestPoint case during full vehicle simulation

    During full vehicle simulation I got the message "NearestPoint". even if i can finish my simulation. Is there any possible solution to cover out it? or what the most posibility casused the case.
  • Integrated Finite Element Model in Adams

    Dear community, I have a multibody dynamics model of human body in Adams. Currently the intervertebral discs (IVD) are modeled as bushings with stiffness and damping. I am trying to model IVDs with flexible bodies option in Adams. I was able to import…
  • Error while generating leafspring

    Hi, I am using following command to generate leafspring call adams2021_2 -makeleaf "leaf.ltf" I get following error. The ltf files which were running earlier, are also showing this error. Please help…
  • Can we deactivate a motor during simulation? I'm running the simulation through an ACF file and would like to deactivate the motor once a sensor gets triggered.

  • Hello, can someone help me with my problem in Adams View. I am simulating two finger robot gripper. I am simulating it on the cube. Now I want to parametrize that cube to be able to move it on x, y and z. i want also to be able to rotate cube.

  • Bushings as Bolts - Preload Strategies....

    ADAMS/View 2022.4 I’m building a new model where I need to bolt two flex bodies together. Part of the goal of the model is to understand the changes in Bolt loads as the system is exercised. We are a “weld the heck out of stuff” kinda place…
  • AdamsView Executable Solver external VS internal

    Hello together, does someone know the difference in the solving process from adams with the external to the internal solver? Sometimes I have models where an error occurs during the simulation with the internal solver where the external…
  • Why the flexible body deflection is dependent on the number of modes? I believe I already have sufficient number of modes in my MNF.

    I have a flexible shaft in my model by importing an MNF file. I have found the deflection of the shaft (simply supported) is dependent to the number of modes. Only a radial load is applied to the shaft center and I need to confirm the shaft center displacement…
  • We've developed a C++based DLL for an Adams model, included Gse-deriv & Gse-output functions. It works with the dynamic solver "Sim/DYN"(results validated); however, with Sim/STAT, it gets equilibrium issue error!

    We've developed a C++based DLL for an Adams model. The code includes Gse-deriv & Gse-output functions. It works perfectly fine with the dynamic solver "Sim/DYN" and the simulation results have been successfully validated; however, with Sim/STAT, it encounters…
  • Vector expression in runtime function?

    I am trying to simplify some messy equations by using runtime functions. I have a function for projecting the velocity vector of a marker into the plane of a reference unit vector that I calculate and save at some previous point in the simulation. …
  • Happy new year. Does anybody have a tool to convert AutoDesk Geometry to a format that can be read by ADAMS? Thanks Juan LopezdeAlda

  • Why is the torque not transmitted to the driven gear?

    I have drive and driven gears mounted on the drive and driven shafts respectively. Torque and speed are applied to the drive shaft. When my dynamic simulation starts, some random force is generated but when it reaches a steady state, the transmitted force…
  • Keyboard shortcut for Show/Hide and Activate/Deactivate

    Hey there, does anyone know if there are keyboard shortcuts for hiding and showing selected objects in Adams View? I could not find anything in the online help. Also shortcuts for activate/deactivate would be nice. Regards, Tobia…
  • How can I calculate the spring coefficient (k) of leaf spring in Adams/Car?

    I've created a leaf spring using "Leaf Spring Editor". However, I've been struggling to draw its Load/Deflection diagram. For that purpose, which parameters should I use in x-axis and y-axis in the postprocessor interface? For instance, I've…
  • SYSARY outputs

    Hello, I have two questions about using SYSARY in subroutines: 1) How can I tell the units at which SYSARY outputs the data (e.g. velocities)? I have set units in Adams as mm/deg but I think that my angular velocty components where…
  • I want to create Python script to create spheres along the curve or spline connected by beam force element.

  • what are the difference between acarBS.cmd /car.cmd / acarAS.cmd beside execution order?

    I know the order about acar.bin ->acarBS.cmd ->acar.cmd ->acarAS.cmd But I dont know what kind of command should be written in acarBS.cmd and what should be placed in acarAS.cmd
  • A/Car Error converting template in ADAMS 2022.3

    I'm opening an A/Car tire template (or the subsequent vehicle assembly) and getting the following error messages during the "converting" process. The template/assembly is from a few years ago and I believe was working fine. I think this is a new message…
  • Aaccuracy of the Instant Axis method

    I calculate a model with resolved wishbone (Multi Link) in Adams. I have also created a CAD model in which I calculate the steering axle for different wheel travels. Unfortunately, I have a relatively large deviation from what Adams calculates.…
  • Turning Off Force without use of Sensor/SUBS

    I have a large number of non-linear springs (force as function of displacement) in a large model. These spring forces, whether from a spline or simple functions, go to 0 force after a certain displacement is reached. What I want to ensure is that the…
  • Hello everyone, I would like to open in GNS Animator 4 the result of a 4Post Testrig from Adams Car. Anyone knows if that is possible? I don't find any postprocessing output from Adams which is able to be opened in GNS Animator 4 as animation.

  • How do I get a .out file in ADAMS 2021 when running the external solver?

    I always got a .out file of request data in ADAMS 10.1 but now in ADAMS 2021 it seems like something has changed. I found Output (out) content in the Help documentation. I checked request data, exported to .adm and see the line DEBUG/, REQDUMP …
