Export a linearized NASTRAN model from Adams at the current-time/dynamic/kinematic/static/quasi-static equilibrium operating point.
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Model Name | Select the model which you want to export |
Type | Choose the type of export, that is low fidelity (open box) or high fidelity (closed box) |
Nastran Output File Prefix | Choose the file prefix to be used for the exported Nastran file(s). |
Operating Point | Choose the operating point at which the model will be exported (options are current-time, dynamic, kinematic, static and quasi-static) |
If you chose current-time then Adams exports a NASTRAN model immediately with no further analysis specification, in other words model is exported at any current and valid operating point (i.e. static, quasi-static, dynamic, and kinematic) | |
If you chose a dynamic/kinematic/quasi-static operating point following four options will be available | |
End Time | Specify the simulation end time as an alternative to the duration of simulation |
Duration | Specify the duration of simulation as an alternative to the simulation end time |
Number Of Steps | Specify the number of steps, as an alternative to the step size |
Step Size | Specify the step size as an alternative to the number of steps parameter |
Configuration File Name | Specify a configuration file to be used to control the exporting of the model. See Nastran bulk data deck export for more information. |
Reset After Export | Select if the simulation has to be reset automatically after the export operation |
Export all graphics | Select if all the graphics are to be exported |
Write To Terminal | Select if the output file is to be displayed in the info window after the export operation |
