Import - Adams Solver Dataset

File → Import → Adams Solver Dataset            Shared Dialog Box
Imports datasets that you created for Adams Solver into Adams View.
When you import an Adams Solver dataset, Adams View creates a new Model using the model description defined in the dataset. It makes the model part of the current Modeling database. To display the model, see Displaying Models in the Database.
 
Note:  
If Adams View encounters special characters in the file, such as <CTRL m>, it cancels the operation. Special characters can appear in files that have been transferred between different computer systems (for example, from Windows NT to Linux). If Adams View cancels the operation, edit the file to remove the special characters and import the file into Adams View again.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
File Type
Set it to Adams Solver Dataset.
File to Read
Enter the name of the dataset that you want to import. You do not need to enter the file extension .adm, since Adams View assumes that this is the file extension.
Model to Create
Enter the name of the model you want to create from the dataset.
Set Default Units
Set the default units for the model. For more information, see Units Dialog Box.
Display Model Upon Completion
Display the final results of the import.
