Overview

This tutorial introduces you to the process of solving an engineering design problem using Adams View.
We assume that you will work through this tutorial in sequential order. Therefore, we give you more guidance in the beginning and less as you proceed through the tutorial. If you choose not to work through the tutorial in sequential order, you can import command files into Adams View at different points in the tutorial and start working from there. You may, however, have to reference the beginning chapters for some of the basic concepts.
Note:  
By default on Windows, files in the installation directory are read-only. During installation, your system administration can choose to change the permissions so you can write to the installation directory. If this has not been done, you need to change the permissions of the files when you copy them to your working directory.
Look for the merge symbol at the beginning of each chapter to find out which file to import.
