Adams Flex

Modal Flexibility: Theoretical background, combined rigid-flexible equations of motion - Importing a flexible body into a rigid-body model - Working with flexible body models in Adams/View (mode manager, connect flexible part to rigid parts, add forces/torques, use measures) - Adams/Solver dataset and Adams/View command language syntax - Using flexible body models with stand-alone Adams/Solver (edit .adm files, generate .mtx files, submit simulations) - Performing static, dynamic, and eigenvalue analyses - Exporting loads from Adams/View - Methods for optimizing MNFs - Comparing results of rigid and flexible models (plotting, animation) - Validating Adams/Flex results with FEM results and hand-calculations - Modeling considerations - Debugging - Modeling contact with a flexible body - Using a modal force (MFORCE) to define a pressure load - Publishing simulation results on the web (generate movies, table of eigenvalues, snapshot images, include model files) - Reviewing several application examples - Reviewing/Discussing methods for generating MNF from FEA packages - Adams/ViewFlex
