Exporting Data Using Adams Durability

Using Adams Durability, you can export data from an Adams simulation to compare simulation results to a physical test, input data to durability analysis programs, or provide input to test equipment. You can store the exported data in either RPC III Format or DAC Format.
With Adams Durability, one of the first steps you take is to export data to validate your model against actual test data. You perform model validation by simulating the same system, load, and time interval, and then compare plots of physical test results to simulated results. Once you’re satisfied that your model and loads adequately match physical test results, you’ll want to output simulation results of What-If scenarios for input to durability analysis programs and durability test machines.
