Adams Flex

Adams Flex software is an add-on module to the Adams® 2024.1 suite of software that lets you add flexible bodies to your models to achieve more realistic simulation results. The Adams Flex Help explains how to add flexible bodies to the models you build in Adams. It contains both tutorial, overview, and theory information on integrating and managing flexible bodies.

Although you can use Adams Flex with Adams Solver, we recommend that you use Adams View because it provides an easy-to-use interface that is built right into the Adams View interface. Because of Adams View's advantages, the Adams Flex Help focuses on how to use Adams Flex with Adams View. For information on how to use Adams Flex with Adams Solver, see Flexible Body Modeling with Adams Solver.

Adams Flex Help also assumes that you know how to run Adams View or Adams Solver. It also assumes that you have a moderate level of finite element modeling proficiency. To use Adams Flex, you need access to a finite element analysis (FEA) program that interfaces with Adams so you can prepare a finite element (FE) model for use with Adams and create a to be built into your Adams model.
