About the Adams View Modeling Database

The Adams View Modeling database is a hierarchical database. Each object in the database has an object that owns it, called its parent, and many objects own other objects, called their children. The top level objects in the database are models, views, plots, and libraries containing such things as dialog boxes.

The following shows the hierarchy of a database called Database_1 that contains one model and a plot of the model.

Names of objects in the database use a hierarchical naming structure. For example, a block built on the ground part is named .model_1.ground.block.
