Within the Adams analysis environment, there are conduits between Adams Insight and the other Adams products (for example: Adams Car). These conduits streamline the process by taking advantage of the inherent parametric strengths of the vertical application.

When these parametric applications are not accessible, you can use the Adams Insight ASCII Conduit (Adams Insight ASC). It provides the power of a streamlined parametric investigation process for systems that are defined by text files. For example, if you only have an .adm and .acf file of an analytical Adams Solver system, you could use Adams Insight ASC to easily execute various Adams Insight investigation strategies. Adams Insight ASC has an editor that enables you to import the ASCII files (.adm, .acf) and turn them into ASC templates, which together define an ASC system.

Adams Insight ASC is a general-purpose tool that helps you work with various analysis environments, from your own or inhouse-developed applications to commercial applications which accept an ASCII input deck.
