You can customize Adams View so that it works and looks the way you want it to and mimics your design environment. There are four major ways to customize it. You can:
■Customize the graphical interface - For example, you can create your own set of menus or dialog boxes.
■Automate your work using macros - You can also speed up your work by creating macros to perform complex or repetitive tasks. You can edit the macros to include design variables to further customize and automate the modeling process.
■Create your own Adams View library - The library you create can read in different Adams View functions and execute commands. For information on creating libraries, refer to Running and Configuring Adams.
■Edit Adams View startup files - You can edit the files that Adams View reads when it first starts. These files can automatically load a model, execute commands, or change menus or dialog boxes. For information on editing startup files, refer to the Running and Configuring Adams.
