Introduction

The Python interface to Adams enables users to interact with Adams using the Python language as an alternative to the Adams View command language. The Adams Python Interface is a Python API (Application Programming Interface) that enables creation and modification of modeling objects in Adams.
Python is a general-purpose powerful object-oriented scripting language. For information about Python in general see: https://www.python.org/
The Adams Python interface has been developed as an "object oriented" interface where each entity in Adams maps to a class in Python having properties and methods.
You can use the Python interface in following ways:
■Import a Python script in Adams View
■Execute a set of Python commands using the Adams View command window
■Run Python scripts in the batch mode by specifying the Python script name in the Adams command line
■The Adams View command line also supports operations available in python integrated development environments.
