Adams Vibration

Adams Vibration is an Adams® 2024.1 plugin for performing frequency-domain analyses. Using Adams Vibration, you can study forced vibrations within your Adams models. For example, you can simulate driving an automobile over a bumpy road an measure its frequency response. Both inputs and outputs are described in the frequency domain.

Using Adams Vibration, you can:

Analyze the forced response of a model in the frequency domain over different operating points.
Include the effects of hydraulics, controls, and user-subsystems in the frequency analysis.
Transfer your linearized model from Adams products to Adams Vibration completely and quickly.
Create input and output channels for vibration analyses.
Specify frequency domain input functions, such as swept sine amplitude/frequency, power spectral density (PSD), and rotational imbalance.
Create user-defined, frequency-based forces.
Solve for system modes over frequency range of interest.
Evaluate frequency response functions for magnitude and phase characteristics.
Animate forced response and individual mode response.
Tabulate system modal contributions to forced vibration response.
Tabulate contribution of model elements to kinetic, static, and dissipative energy distribution in system modes.
Perform modal stress recovery of flexible bodies.
Specify direct kinematic inputs.
Export Mass, Stiffness and Damping Matrices of the linearized model to Nastran bdf file for performing Modal and Frequency Response analysis of the full Adams model in the Nastran environment.
Plot Stress/Strain FRFs
