simulation multi_run read_results
Allows you to read a results files into Adams View so you can plot, manipulate, or view the information in the file.
Format:

|---|
model_name = | existing model |
variable_names = | existing variable |
objective_names = | existing objective |
measure_name = | existing measure |
output_characteristic = | maximum/average/last_value/absolute_minimum/absolute_maximum/rms/standard_deviation |

ana_file_names = | any file |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
model_name | Existing Model | Specifies the name of the model |
variable_names | Existing Variable | Enters the name of the design variable that you want to vary |
var_values | Real | Specifies a real value |
ana_file_names | File Name | Specifies the analysis file name |
output_characteristic | Minimum, Maximum, Average, Last_value, Absolute_minimum,rms,standard_deviation And Absolute_maximum | If you are using a measure, set the design objective’s value. For a measure, enter minimum, maximum, average, last_value, absolute_minimum,rms,standard_deviation and absolute_maximum of the measure. |
objective_ names | Existing Objective | Enters the name of the design objective. |
measure_name | Existing Measure | Enters the name of an existing measure to be used for the doe. |
Extended Definition:
1. Objectives usually involve simulation results, but they are not required to do so. You can create an objective that depends only on the model data, such as overall weight or size. You can then use Adams View to vary, or even optimize the design variables and immediately see the results on the model.
Typical objectives include time, energy, or displacement from a path.
Tips:
1. When specifying the name of the results file to be read, Adams View will append the extension .res. You can override the default by specifying a different extension. You can associate the results file with a particular model or simulation.
2. You can import multiple files if you associate and store the files with a model. Adams View reads and creates all analysis file under the specified model. If you do not provide a model name, Adams View reads each analysis file into its own model.
3. If you select to associate the files with a particular simulation, you can only import one set of output files generated from the same Adams Solver simulation. Adams View uses the time-date stamp placed at the beginning of each output file, to determine if the files were generated by the same simulation run.
4. When Adams View reads a results file, it creates a new analysis run. Each block of data in the results file corresponds to an Adams entity, such as part, joint, bushing, and so on. The data corresponding to these entities is stored as a result set in the analysis run. The default name of the analysis run will be the name of the results file, excluding the extension. You can override the default analysis using the file_name parameter. 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
