Adams Mechatronics
Features in Adams Mechtronics may be attractive to Adams Car users who want to use Adams Controls.
Adams Mechatronics is a plug-in to Adams which can be used to easily incorporate control systems into mechanical models. Adams Mechatronics has been developed based on the Adams Control functionality and contains modeling elements which transfer information to/from the control system. For example, using Adams Mechatronics in Adams Car, you can quickly create assemblies of vehicle systems including control systems, and then analyze them to understand their performance and behavior. Adams Mechatronics enables you to work faster and smarter with control systems, letting you have more time to study and understand how design changes as well as changes in the controls systems affect the total mechanical model performance.
From a modeling perspective, Adams Mechatronics has following benefits:
■A control system has to be setup and coupled only once.
■Control systems and control signals are handled as components among others.
■The model can easily be used by different users, including those who are not familiar with the control systems.
■Automatic signal unit conversions.
■Easy to connect transducer and actuator signals to the control systems.
■Overview and modify the control system input and output specifications.
