Append Run Commands
Instead of having to know command names and syntax for many commands for running Simulations and for saving and resetting simulation, you can enter values for the operations and then append the appropriate commands to the current selected Script. Assistance on modeling commands is not available.
For additional assistance, you can also:
■Use the Command Navigator to see the available Adams View commands, their keywords, and parameters.
■Look at your aview.Log file to see the commands that have been executed and their syntax.
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Run command to be appended to script | Select the simulation operation that you’d like to add to your script. For example, select Transient - Dynamic to enter a command for performing a dynamic simulation. Options for the operation you selected appear in the dialog box. For example, text boxes and option button appear for setting the duration of a simulation. |
If you select Transient - Dynamic or Transient - Kinematic, the following options appear: | |
Start at equilibrium | For a Transient Dynamic or Kinematic, select to have Adams View perform a static simulation before performing a Dynamic simulation. |
End Time/Duration | Enter the time interval over which the simulation takes place and set how you want it defined. You can select: ■End Time - Specify the absolute point in time at which you want the simulation to stop. ■Duration - Specify the amount of time over which you want the simulation to run. |
Steps/Step Size | Set the frequency with which Adams View outputs data during your simulation. You can specify: ■Steps - Represents the total number of times you want Adams View to provide output information over your entire simulation. For example, specify 50 steps over a 1-second simulation interval to define an output period of 0.02 seconds per step, which yields an output frequency of 50 steps/second. ■Step Size - Represents the amount of time, in current model units, between output steps. The output frequency remains constant even if you change your simulation end time or duration. For example, enter a step size of 0.01 seconds to specify an output period of 0.01 seconds per step, which yields an output frequency of 100 steps/second. |
If you select Transient - Static Steps/Step Size and End Time/Durations options appear | |
If you select Equilibrium no other options will appear | |
If you select Eigensolution following options appear: | |
Employ Damping | Select if you would like apply damping during simulation |
Generate Eigenvectors | Select if you would like to generate eigen vectors |
If you select Nastran Export - Static following options appear: | |
Write To Terminal | Select if the output file is to be displayed in the info window after the export operation |
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). |
Configuration File Name | Specify a configuration file to be used to control the exporting of the model |
If you select Nastran Export - Quasi Static along with the options for Nastran Export - Static, Steps/Step Size and End Time/Duration options appear: | |
If you select Sate Matrix following options appear: | |
Plant Input | Select an existing Plant Input |
Plant Output | Select an existing Plant Output |
Matrix Format | Select suitable controls design and analysis package format |
Matrix File Name | Specify a file name to which Adams Solver (C++) writes the state matrices. If the output is in the MATRIXX format, all matrices are written to this file. For the MATLAB format, the file name is used as a base name. Each matrix is written to a separate file, whose name Adams Solver (C++) automatically constructs by appending the matrix name to the user-specified base name. |
If you select Assemble no options will appear | |
If you select Scripted following options will appear | |
Simulation Script | Specify an existing script |
Do a ‘simulation single_run reset’ first | Select if you would like to reset the simulation controls to their initial configuration |
OK | Will insert the appropriate Adams View commands based on the options and entries you selected/specified |
Cancel | Cancels the insertion of Adams View commands |
