Indicative contents

• Introduction to ADAMS and its capabilities
• Over view of ADAMS modules
• ADAMS/View Lab Session
  • Create parts and organize them into mechanical systems
  • Connect parts with ideal constraints, such as standard joints (hinges, sliders, etc.), joint primitives complex (couplers, screw, etc.), curve (cam-follower, pin-in-slot)
  • Actuate a system with ideal and complex part motion applied forces gravity
  • Connect parts with more realistic forces like simple (springs, dampers, etc.), complex based on system states, (displacements, velocities, etc.), complex based on test data Contacts
  • Measure quantities of interest (displacements, velocities, accelerations, applied loads, forces)
  • Perform static, transient, and linear simulations
  • Precisely control and manage your simulations and Investigate test results via animations and plots
  • Additional topics discussed are importing CAD-based geometry , performing cam synthesis , applying joint friction, performing design studies, applying sensors to systems and running the model using script
  • Working with FE models, Creating Modal Neutral files, importing and simulating FE models along with rigid bodies
  • Case Studies
