Creating an Adams Solver Function Measure

An Adams Solver function measure allows you to create a measure in Adams View that Adams Solver evaluates during Simulations. Because Adams Solver function measures are only evaluated during simulations, function measures remain unevaluated until you run a simulation. The Adams Solver function measure is convenient because it lets you reference any user-defined Adams Solver function or User-written subroutine. Function measures are built from Adams Solver Run-Time Functions.
Be careful, however, about the number of Adams Solver function measures you create because Adams View writes each measure to the Adams Solver dataset as a VARIABLE statement. Each VARIABLE statement adds another equation to the overall set of equations. The more equations Adams Solver must solve, the longer your simulation takes.

To create an Adams Solver function measure:

1. Click the Design Exploration tab. From the Measures container, click the Function tool .
or
(Classic interface) From the Build menu, point to Measure, point to Function, and then select New.
The Function Builder appears in Adams Solver function-measure mode.
2. Build your function expression using the function and object data, and then format the Strip chart using the options in the Attributes area.
3. Select OK.
