Adams Machinery Environment Variables

The following are Adams Machinery environment variables:
 
Variable name:
Variable value:
What it does:
AMACH_BEARING_DUTY_CYCLE_ORIGINAL
1
This variable if set, will allow you to revert the duty-cycle life calculation method.
Where:
■Ltot : single-value service life estimate provided for each bearing by this "Adams Machinery Bearing Duty-Cycle Service Life" tool.
■ti : the time-share of the given output step's life prediction value. This amounts to the fraction of the total time range covered by all rows of the duty cycle for which the given output step accounts. For example, if a 1 second simulation of 10 steps is run and the entire simulation is covered by the duty cycle specification, then ti for each output step would be 0.1.
■ri : the number of repeats applied to the given output step as defined in the duty cycle specification.
■Li : the given output step's life prediction value.
