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
