→ TableThe option: | Displays the following: |
|---|---|
Time | The value of time at the beginning of a step. |
Type | The type of simulation currently being run. It can be one of the following: ■DYN for a Dynamic simulation. ■KIN for a Kinematic simulation. ■STA for a Static equilibrium simulation. ■TRA for Transient simulation. ■QST for Quasi-static simulation. ■ICD for initial conditions displacements. ■ICV for initial conditions velocity. ■ICA for initial conditions acceleration. ■EIG for Eigen solution. ■STM for state matrix solution. |
Steps | The current Output step number. It is a running count of the number of integration steps taken, and you can use it as a measure of how hard Adams Solver is working. Learn about displaying a strip chart of this information. |
Step Size | The current size of the integration time step. |
Iterations | The number of the current iteration. It is one at the beginning of each time step and increments by one until Adams Solver converges to a solution or exceeds the maximum allowable number of iterations. |
Order | The order of the predictor. It corresponds to the order of the polynomial Adams Solver uses to predict the solution at the end of an integration step. |
Rank | The current ranking of the modeling objects in order of their experiencing the most error or the greatest change, acceleration, or force, depending on the element that you are currently tracking. |
Element | The modeling objects experiencing the most error or the greatest change, acceleration, or force, depending on the element that you are currently tracking. The number of objects listed depends on the number you requested in the Show box. |
Hits | The number of times the modeling object was placed in the top n of modeling objects where n is the number of modeling objects that appear in the maximum list. You specify the number of objects in the maximum list in the Show box. |
Percent | The percentage of time the modeling object was placed in the top n of modeling objects where n is the number of modeling objects that appear in the maximum list. You specify the number of objects in the maximum list in the Show box. |
History Depth | Number of iterations for which the listed modeling objects appeared. You can change this value. |
Show | The number of modeling objects that appear in the maximum list. You can change this value. By default, Adams View displays three objects in the list at any one time. |
