Running Analyses
Running Analyses in Adams Mechatronics
You submit analysis using the standard Adams and Adams Controls functionality since Adams Mechatronics does not have its own analysis type.
In case of Co-Simulation, select the control system type as “Co-Simulation” in control system dialog box and proceed as follows.
In Adams Car:
1. Set the mode of the full vehicle simulation to file_only to generate all necessary files for co-simulation
2. In the Adams Mechatronics plant export dialog box which automatically pops up, verify that all control systems of type ‘co-simulation’ are shown in the system name field
3. Select the generated adm file
4. The software package and initial static analysis are preset based on the settings of the first control system. Choose other settings such as solver choice. More information about the settings can be found in the dialog box help
5. Once all files have been exported, follow the instruction in Adams Control manual of how to perform a co-simulation.
In Adams View:
1. Display the Adams Mechatronics export plant dialog box, via Mechatronics → Tools → Export Plant.
2. Verify that the control systems of type ‘Co-simulation’ in the default model are shown in the system name field.
3. Enter a file prefix of the files that will be generated
4. The software package and initial static analysis are preset based on the settings of the first control system. Choose other settings such as solver choice. More information about the settings can be found in the dialog box help.
5. Once all files have been exported, follow the instruction in Adams Control manual how to perform a co-simulation.
