Description:

allows engineers test virtual prototypes and optimize designs for performance, safety, and comfort, without having to build and test numerous physical prototypes. Adams is a family of interactive motion simulation software. A core package allows users to import geometry from most major CAD systems or to build a solid model of the mechanical system from scratch. A full library of joints and constraints is available for creating articulated mechanisms. Once the virtual prototype is complete, Adams checks the model and then runs simultaneous equations for kinematic, static, quasi-static, and dynamic simulations. Results are viewable as graph, data plots, reports, or colorful animations that you easily can share with others. Engineers can use the results (loads created from different types of motion) of Adams simulation studies to provide loads for many different finite element analysis programs to optimize the structure of a design. Adams also offers a range of modules tailored specifically the automotive, aerospace, and rail industries.
