string
output_prefix =
string
title =
string

Example:

 
panel set acf_twindow reload &
panel set acf_twindow save save_type =
system &
panel set acf_twindow save file_name =
"c:\users\save"

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
save_type
ADAMS_SAVE_TYPE
Specifies the type of file to be SAVEd or RELOADed
file_name
STRING
Specifies the name of the file that is to be read, written, or executed.
output_prefix
STRING
Specifies a new base (root) name for the output files (.REQ, .RES, .GRA, .OUT, etc.) from the simulation which follows this RELOAD command.
title
STRING
This parameter allows the specification of the XY plot title.

Extended Definition:

1. Using the reload command with the STATES argument allows the user to reload the saved simulation time and state values, including displacements, velocities, force values and user-defined variable values. Adams resets the simulation time to the saved values and uses the saved states as initial conditions for the next simulation.
Using the RELOAD command with the SYSTEM argument allows the user to reload the entire saved system, including the model definition (parts, markers, joints, etc.), simulation time and state values (displacements, velocities, force values, user-defined variable values, etc.) and solver data (integrator parameters, state derivatives, etc.). Adams completely resets all model, simulation and solver data to that stored in the file.
SAVE_TYPE=STATES respecifies that the file contains simulation time and state values (displacements, velocities, force values user-defined variable values, etc.).
2. SAVE_TYPE=SYSTEM respecifies that the file contains the entire Adams system, including the model, simulation time, and state_values.
3. The proper extension is the default but can be overridden by simply supplying a different extension.
You do not need to enclose the file name in quotes if it only contains alpha-numeric characters and starts with a letter. If you want to include other characters, such as a '.' for an extension or '/' or '[]' for directory paths, you must enclose the name in quotes.
4. If the user does not specify the OUTPUT_PREFIX argument, Adams will append the output to the currently open output files after writing a special delimiter line into the file.
5. This parameter allows the specification of the XY plot title. The title is a "quoted" character string that will be displayed at the top of the XY plot. The title will be scaled and centered automatically. Unlike plot names, titles need not be unique.
A title may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used.
