Solver Settings - Debugging

Settings → Solver → Debugging
You can set default options for the debugging information that appears when you run a Simulation.
You can also turn on the display of Strip charts and step through a simulation. Learn more about Debugging Your Model.
 
Note:  
The debugging tools from this dialog function only when using the internal solver. For external and standalone solver runs please consider Debugging Your Model Using Eprint.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Category
Set to Debugging.
Debugger
Set to:
■On - Turn on the Simulation Debugger
■Off - Turn off the Simulation debugger
Display
Set to:
■None - Displays no information.
■Table - Displays the Debug table.
■Highlighting - Highlights those objects experiencing the most error or the most change, force, or acceleration, depending on the element you select to track. Note that selecting highlighting of objects will significantly slow down your simulation.
■Table and Highlighting - Displays both the Debug table and highlights objects. The objects highlighted are the same objects shown at the top of the Element list in the Debug table.
Track Maximum
Set to track:
■Error - Track objects with the largest equation residual error. This number is an indicator of how far Adams Solver is from a solution. It should decrease with every iteration.
■Force - Track objects generating the greatest force. Includes forces and constraints.
■Change - Track variables with the most change.
■Acceleration - Track objects experiencing the greatest acceleration. Includes only parts.

Select to display options for stepping through a simulation and displaying strip charts.
Single Step
Set to Yes to single step through a simulation. The Simulation Debugger pauses after each simulation output step, time step, or iteration so you can closely inspect the simulation behavior. You can step through a simulation with any of the other debugger options selected, such as strip charts, tables, or object highlighting. As you run a simulation, Adams View displays a dialog box that gives you the option to continue with the simulation or cancel it.
Display Stripchart
Select the type of strip chart you want to display to provide you with insight into the simulation.
