Extended Definition:
1. A save command stores the current Adams model and simulation conditions or only the current simulation states. This allows the user to return to the model or states at a later time using the RELOAD command.
The user may use the SAVE command with the STATES argument to save the current simulation time and state values, including displacements, velocities, force values, and user-defined variable values. The user can later restart a simulation from this point by reloading the states with the RELOAD/STATES command. When the user reload this file, Adams resets the simulation time to the saved value and use the saved states as initial conditions for the next simulation.
The user may use the SAVE command with the SYSTEM argument to save the entire current system, including the model definition (parts, markers, joints, etc.), simulation time and state values (displacements, velocities, force values, and user-defined variable values etc.), and solver data (integrator parameters, state derivatives, etc.). SAVE/SYSTEM creats a complete record of the current model and simulation conditions. The user can later return to this point by reloading the conditions using the RELOAD/SYSTEM command. When the user reloads a system file, Adams completely reset the model, simulation and solver data to that stored in the file.
2. SAVE_TYPE=STATES respecifies that the file contains simulation time and state values (displacements, velocities, force values user-defined variable values, etc.).
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. Each subsequent SAVE command overrides the previous case. Setting AUTOSAVE to zero turns AUTOSAVE off.
