Exporting to RPC III or DAC

You can export either RPC III Format or DAC Format request files from Adams View after a simulation completes. This technique does not require you to set up requests before running the simulation.
By definition, results output to an RPC III or DAC file must have constant time steps. If the results data being output includes non-constant time steps, Adams View provides a warning and the time axis of the data will be warped so that the time interval is constant.

To export a result set to DAC files:

1. From the File menu, select Export to display the File Export dialog box.
2. Set File Type to DAC File.
3. Enter the name of the DAC file in the File Name text box.
4. Right-click the Result Data text box to display the shortcut menu. Point to Result_Set_Component, and then select Browse to display the Database Navigator.
5. Select the result set from the Database Navigator, and then select OK.
Result set components can come from results sets, Measures, or Requests. You can only have one result set per DAC file.
6. Select OK in the File Export dialog box.

To export a result sets to an RPC III file:

1. From the File menu, select Export to display the File Export dialog box.
2. Set File Type to RPC3 File.
3. Enter the name of the RPC III file in the File Name text box.
4. Right-click the Result Data text box to display the shortcut menu. Point to Result_Set_Component, and then select Browse to display the Database Navigator.
5. Select one or more result sets from the Database Navigator using Shift+click or Ctrl+click techniques.
6. Once you’ve selected all the result sets, select OK.
 
Note:  
Result set components can come from result sets, measures, or requests.
7. Select OK in the File Export dialog box.
