Examining Numeric Results
Adams View provides the capability to measure specific attributes of flexible bodies, as well as attributes of
markers and
Points on flexible bodies. For information on how to use and view
measures, see
About Measures in the Adams View online help.
The measures available for flexible bodies are:
■Center of mass position
■Center of mass velocity (translational and angular)
■Center of mass acceleration (translational and angular)
■Potential energy delta
■Kinetic energy (total, angular, and translational)
■Strain energy (due to deformation)
■Momentum (translational and angular)
Markers and points on a flexible body have standard measurable quantities. These quantities are:
■Force (point and location)
■Torque (point and location)
■Acceleration (translational and angular)
■Displacement (translational)
■Velocity (translational and angular)
In addition, flexible body markers have these measurable quantities not available for rigid bodies:
■Deformation (translational and angular)
■Deformation velocity (translational and angular)
■Deformation acceleration (translational and angular)
Note: | Adams View returns results for all deformations relative to the LBRF regardless of whether or not you set a deformation datum node as explained in Specifying a Deformation Datum Node. |
