interface page load_view
Allows loading of page_contents on an existing page or plot
The page can be created without opening the Adams postprocessor. The page is used to display plots to show the results, or to display the model in animation mode. The page properties and layout can be set by using this command.
Format:
interface page load_view |
|---|
page_name = | an existing page |
view_index = | integer |
model = | an existing model |
plot = | an existing plot |
ptemplate = | an existing ptemplate |
Example:
interface page load_view & |
|---|
page_name = | page_2 & |
view_index = | 1 & |
model = | model_1 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
page_name | An Existing Page | Specifies the name of an existing page |
view index | Integer | Specifies the plot index |
model | An Existing Model | Specifies the model name |
plot | An Existing Plot | Specifies the name of the plot to be displayed |
ptemplates | An Existing Ptemplate | Specifies the name of an existing page template |
Extended Definition:
1. The ‘page’ is a plot window where either a result plot or a model can be displayed. The properties of the page can be initially set by this command. A blank plot or model page with specified properties will be displayed with this command.
2. The index of the page can be set by entering ‘view_index‘. The parameter ‘model’ state the existing ‘model_name’, where a model allows you to create and manage models. A model contains a complete description of a mechanism, including parts, markers, joints, forces and geometry. In order to build a mechanism in Adams View, you must first create a model object in the Adams View database. You then add parts and other objects to the model. As you are developing your model, you may display it, verify it, and change its attributes. Once you have created a model, you add parts to it with the 'PART CREATE RIGID_BODY NAME_AND_POSITION' command. After you have created your first part or two, you can continue creating parts, or you may wish to start putting markers on the parts so you can add geometry, constraints, and forces. You use the 'MARKER CREATE' command to add markers to a part. Adding markers may help you position other parts, and creating geometry with markers will help you visualize your model as you are constructing it. When your model is complete, you use the OUTPUT_CONTROL' command to request Adams output, write an Adams data set, and then analyze it with Adams. If your analysis is fairly simple, you may use the 'SUBMIT' command to write the dataset and invoke Adams.
3. The ‘plot’ refers to an existing plot showing results or output. The page templates can also be loaded in to the ‘page’
Tips:
1. The model, plot and ptemplates are mutually exclusive to each other.
