simulation single_run 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 single_run save |
|---|
analysis_name = | an existing analysis name |
auto_increment = | yes/no |
title = | title string |
Example:
simulation single_run save & |
|---|
analysis_name = | ANALYSIS__1 & |
auto_increment = | yes & |
title = | "simulation #1" |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
analysis_name | An existing analysis | Specifies an existing analysis. |
auto_increment | | Specifies a Boolean value ‘yes’ or ‘no’, based on whether auto increment is required or not. |
title | | Specifies the XY plot title. |
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 and so on), simulation time and state values (displacements, velocities, force values, and user-defined variable values and so on), and solver data (integrator parameters, state derivatives, etc.). SAVE/SYSTEM creates 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.
3. An analysis may be picked from the screen if you have read an Adams Graphics file, and use the GRAPHIC_RESULTS command to display it. If the analysis is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the analysis is displayed.
4. You may have explicitly named the analysis when you created it by reading one or more Adams output files. By default, the name of the analysis is the root name of the Adams output files. If you created the analysis by reading an Adams Graphics file, for instance, the analysis name is the name of the graphics file without the '.gra' extension. If the analysis 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 analysis picks by commas.
5. For the auto_increment parameter, specify “yes” if you want Adams View to automatically increment the run names when you save subsequent simulations. If this is not specified, the constant default value will be used.
6. 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.
Tips:
1. You may identify an analysis by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
2. You may get a list of analysis by typing a "?" in response to a parameter that requires an analysis name be entered. You must separate multiple analysis names by commas.
