simulation multi_run save
Allows you to save the results of the last simulation under a new name so that you can animate or plot the results at a later time.
Format:
simulation multi_run save |
|---|
analysis_name = | new analysis |
auto_increment = | yes/no |
title = | String |
Example:
simulation multi_run save & |
|---|
analysis_name = | ANALYSIS__2 & |
auto_increment = | yes & |
title = | test |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
analysis_name | New Analysis Name | Specifies the name of the analysis to be saved |
auto_increment | Yes/No | Select if you want Adams View to automatically increment the run names when you save subsequent simulations. |
title | String | Specifies a string |
Extended Definition:
1. By default, the results of a simulation are only saved to the modeling database and not to external Adams Solver analysis files. To save the results to external Adams Solver analysis files, set the simulation output before you run the simulation, as explained below:
You can change the default simulation settings so you can have greater control over both, the performance of simulations and the output that is generated from them.
The Solver Settings dialog box contains options for controlling and managing simulations and parametric analyses, including:
■Setting the types of files output during the simulation - You can set up Adams View so that it saves simulation data to external Adams Solver files and controls what data Adams View saves. Adams View saves the files in the directory in which you started Adams View.
If you are using Adams Durability, you can also save Adams View RPC III and DAC output. For more information, see Adams Durability online help.
■Controlling the display during the simulation - You can control how Adams View displays your model during a single simulation or how it displays your model during a parametric analysis, such as a design study or optimization. You can also set the information that Adams View displays during a parametric analysis.
Adams View lets you set display options so you see just the amount of information you need during a simulation. For example, when you perform a simulation on a new model, you can set up the display to see the model change as the solution proceeds to determine if the simulation is working properly. Frequently updating the display of the model can, however, slow down the overall solution process.
Once your model runs properly, you can change Adams View so it only updates the model at the end of the simulation. You can even set Adams View so it never updates the model. You can then play an animation of the simulation, as required.
■Change solution settings for all types of simulations (kinematic, initial conditions, dynamic, static) - The options for setting simulations match the arguments for the corresponding statements in Adams Solver. For example, options for setting a kinematic simulation match the arguments for the KINEMATICS statement. Therefore, you will find it very easy to refer to the more extensive simulation setting information in Adams Solver online help.
Keep in mind that settings for individual simulations also affect the simulations during parametric analyses, such as during a design study or optimization.
■Set what type of Adams Solver to run - In addition to running interactive or scripted simulations, you have several options for performing simulations. You can choose:
■Internal - Run Adams Solver from within Adams View and animate the results as they are calculated, which is the default and is explained in Setting Simulation Controls. In addition, if you select the Internal option, you can select from two different types of solvers:
■FORTRAN - Our existing version of Adams Solver.
■C++ - Our new version of Adams Solver, which is C++-based and promises to be faster, provide new linear analysis capabilities, and have an improved methodology for identifying and handling redundant constraints. Currently, it does not support all modeling elements that the Adams Solver (FORTRAN) supports.
■External - Perform a simulation with Adams Solver while in Adams View, but without seeing the model update on your screen during the simulation. Adams View automatically plays an animation of the simulation when the simulation is complete.
■Write Files Only - Instruct Adams View to write out the files that are needed to run a simulation using Adams Solver from outside of Adams View.
Tips:
1. Saving simulation results is particularly important when you want to compare the results from several design variations.
