Export - Adams View Command File

File → Export → Adams View Command File                Shared Dialog Box
When you export a model as a command file, Adams View creates a file containing all the commands necessary to create the selected model. Exporting a model as an Adams View command file is helpful when you want to move a model from one type of computer platform to another. Note that the order of commands in the command file may not be in the same order as you entered them in Adams View.
Saving a model as a command file does not save your simulation results or analysis files. To save your analysis files, set up Adams View so that it saves the analysis files.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
File Name
Enter the name you want to assign to the command file. You do not need to enter the file extension .cmd, because Adams View assumes that is the file extension.
If you want the file written to a directory other than the one from which you are running Adams View, enter the path name in the File Name text box. To browse for the directory in which you want to export the command file, right-click the File Name text box, and then select Browse to display the File Selection dialog box.
Model Name
Enter the name of the model you want exported as a command file.
Use Parasolid
Select either:
■As is - Adams View exports any geometry that was imported from a Parasolid file out to a Parasolid file when it writes the command file. The command file references the newly created Parasolid file. All other geometry (for example, cylinder, shell, and spring-dampers) are defined using Adams View command language and included in the command file.
■Full - Adams View exports all static geometry to Parasolid files instead of using Adams View command language. This includes cylinders, shells, Parasolid, solids, and so on. It does not include dynamic outlines, spring-damper graphics, and graphic force vectors. These graphics continue to be defined in the Adams View command language.
