list_info files
List information about the ADAMS files that have been read. It does not list the command files or the user data files.
Format:
list_info files |

request_file = | an existing analysis |
results_file = | an existing analysis |
brief = | on/off |
write_to_terminal = | on/off |
file_name = | string specifying the file path |
Example:

analysis_name = | Last_Run & |
graphics_file = | Last_Run & |
request_file = | Last_Run & |
results_file = | Last_Run & |

Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
analysis_name | AN EXISTING ANALYSIS | Specifies an existing model. |
graphics_file | AN EXISTING ANALYSIS | The GRAPHICS keyword indicates that the file to be read into Adams View is a graphics file (The default file extension is .GRA) that has been generated by ADAMS. |
request_file | AN EXISTING ANALYSIS | The REQUEST keyword indicates that the file to be read into Adams View is a request file (.REQ) that has been generated by ADAMS |
results_file | AN EXISTING ANALYSIS | The RESULTS keyword indicates that the file to be read into Adams View is a results file (.RES) that has been generated by ADAMS. |
brief | ON_OFF | Specifies whether to use the brief form (default) or an extended form of the requested information to be displayed. |
write_to_terminal | ON_OFF | Specify if the information requested is to be sent to the informational window or not. |
file_name | STRING | Specify that the information requested is to be sent to a file with the name specified with the parameter. |
Extended Definition:
1. The information includes:
♦name: the name of the file specified on the file read command, minus the path and extension.
♦type: request, results, or graphics steps the number of time steps
♦date: the internal time stamp placed in the file by ADAMS corresponding to when the file was created.
♦title: the internal title placed in the file by ADAMS
2. You may identify a analysis by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
An analysis may be picked from the screen if you have read an ADAMS Graphics file, and use the GRAPHIC_RESULTS command to display it. If the analysis is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the analysis is displayed. You may have explicitly named the analysis when you created it by reading one or more ADAMS output files. By default, the name of the analysis is the root name of the ADAMS output files. If you created the analysis by reading an ADAMS Graphics file, for instance, the analysis name is
the name of the graphics file without the '.gra' extension. You must separate multiple analysis names by commas. If the analysis is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it. You need not separate multiple analysis picks by commas.
3. When a graphics file is read by Adams View a new analysis run is created and the information found in the graphics file is stored under the analysis run name. The default name of the analysis run will be the name of the graphics file excluding the extension.
4. When a request file is read by Adams View a new analysis run is created. Each block of data in the request file that corresponds to a REQUEST statement in the ADAMS input data is stored as result set in the analysis run. The default name of the analysis run will be the name of the request file excluding the extension. This defaults analysis name can be overridden using the file_name parameter. The the name of each result set will be "req" with the request statement ID appended to it. For example, REQUEST/1508 would produce a result set name of "req1508".
5. When a results file is read by Adams View a new analysis run is created. Each block of data in the results file corresponds to an ADAMS entity like PART JOINT,
BUSHING, etc. The data corresponding to these entities is stored as result set in the analysis run. The default name of the analysis run will be the name of the results file excluding the extension. This defaults analysis name can be overridden using the file_name parameter. The the name of each result set will be the first three letters of the entity name with the entity statement ID number appended to it. For example, PART/101 would produce a result set name of "par101".
6. The ‘write_to_terminal’ parameter is most likely be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.
Tips:
1. You may get a list of analysis by typing a "?" in response to a parameter that requires an analysis name be entered.
