file_name = | "c:\model_verify.txt" |
Description:

model_name | An Existing Model | Specifies an existing model |
write_to_terminal | On_Off | Specifies whether the information requested is to be sent to the informational window or not. |

Extended Definition:
1. Adams View will perform most of the checks that Adams does during the Adams Input Check Phase, and report the results to the Information Box.
Adams View checks marker location and alignment at joints, joint primitives, and beams, for instance. Adams View also computes the model degrees-of-freedom using the Grubler equation.
The information Adams View generates is only advisory. You are free to ignore it, at least temporarily. You may continue modeling or even write an Adams data set file from your model.
If Adams View reports errors, you must correct them eventually, however, or Adams will not run the data set. Adams View may also issue warnings, usually joints that are somewhat misaligned, but not severely enough to warrant an error. You should make sure these warnings are not the result of mistakes.
2. You may identify a model by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
If the model is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the model is displayed.
You must separate multiple model names by commas.
If the model 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 model picks by commas.
3. The write_to_terminal parameter is most likely to be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.
