simulation configuration save
Allows you to store 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.
Format:
simulation configuration save |
|---|
model_name = | an existing model |
configuration_label = | string |
analysis_included = | yes/no |
Example:
simulation configuration save & |
|---|
model_name = | model_1 & |
configuration_label = | "for model #1" & |
analysis_included = | yes |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
model_name | An Existing Model | Specifies an existing model. |
configuration_label | String | Enter a string for the configuration label |
analysis_included | Boolean | Takes the Boolean values of YES or NO depending on whether the analysis has to be included with the configuration or not. |
Extended Definition:
1. 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.
2. 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 resets the model, simulation and solver data to that stored in the file.
3. 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.
