Export Model to XLSX file

Export a model or selections thereof to an XLSX workbook file.

For the option:	Do the following:
Workbook Name	Enter the name of the workbook file (.xlsx) to write to.
Model Name	Enter the model to export.
Model File	An optional field where you can specify the filename of the Adams model which gets written out corresponding to the spreadsheet data. This file will be what the modeling automation uses as “baseline” when making changes in Adams View per the specification of a spreadsheet. If this is left blank Adams will write a command file containing the model to current working directory with filename automatically set to the model name.
Modeling
Add All	Click this to auto-select all supported entries in the model.
Design Variables	Click this to auto-select all design variables in the model.
Design Variables field	Enter the design variables that should be exported.
Points	Click this to auto-select all points in the model.
Points field	Enter the points that should be exported.
Mass Properties	Click this to auto-select all rigid body parts in the model.
Mass Properties field	Enter the rigid body parts that should be exported.
Motions	Click this to auto-select all motions in the model.
Motions field	Enter the motions that should be exported.
Splines	Click this to auto-select all splines in the model.
Splines field	Enter the splines that should be exported.
Analyses
Include Analyses	Enabling this makes it possible to include analyses into the xlsx workbook.
If Include Analyses is enabled, the following options will be available:
Analysis Machine	Enter the network address of the machine on which to run the analyses.
Port	Enter the communication network port on the analysis machine.
Use default	Inserts the default analysis machine name or address to the field. Also inserts default port stored in .aexplore.settings.default_port.

Use default	Inserts the default launch command stored in .aexplore.settings.default_adams_car_launch_command
Analysis Mode	Select Interactive, or Files Only. See Mode of Simulation: Interactive or Mode of Simulation: Files_only.
Leave Files on Server	Select Yes to leave all analysis files on the server. Select No to remove all files but output workbook and .log and eventual .msg files.
Model Prepare Script	An Adams command file to apply on the model after it is opened.
Pre- and Post-script Dir.	Directory on the analysis machine containing any script to be run prior to or directly after each analysis. A file in this folder will be run PRIOR to an analysis named sim_1 (see analysis tab, column C of an exported xlsx file) if it exists with the name sim_1_pre.cmd. A file in this folder will be run AFTER an analysis named sim_1 if it exists with the name sim_1_post.cmd
Output
