Entering a marker name

You can specify a marker by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.

If the marker is not visible on the screen, you must type the name (you may find it convenient to type the name even if the marker is displayed).

If you created the marker by reading an Adams Solver dataset or graphics file, the marker name is the letters MAR followed by the Adams Solver dataset marker ID number. For example, the name of Adams MARKER/101 is MAR101. If you created the marker during pre-processing, you gave it a name at that time.

If a marker is available by default, you can specify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify a marker under a different part, for example, you may need to enter the model and part names as well. For example, you may specify marker pivot from model links, part lower_arm by entering .links.lower_arm.pivot. If you type a ?, Adams View will list the markers available by default.

You must separate multiple marker names by commas.

If the marker is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on it. You don't need to separate multiple marker picks by commas.
