Adams Vibration Environment Variables

The following are Adams Vibration environment variables:
 
Variable name:
Variable value:
What it does:
ADAMS_VIBRATION_MIN_FLEX_PARTICIPATION
 
Same as ADAMS_VIBRATION_MIN_PARTICIPATION, except valid for flex modes.
ADAMS_VIBRATION_MIN_PARTICIPATION
 
Currently, during a vibration animation of flexible bodies, Adams Vibration finds the largest modal coordinate and ignores any other coordinates that are less than 10% of that value. This environment variable changes the percentage that is ignored.

Use this variable for system modes. (Use ADAMS_VIBRATION_MIN_FLEX_PARTICIPATION for flex modes.)

To include all system modes in the animation, set this environment variable to 0.0.

For example, to ignore all modal coordinates that are less than 5% of the largest coordinate, on Linux enter:
setenv ADAMS_VIBRATION_MIN_PARTICIPATION 0.05
