WELCOME TO ADVANCED ADAMS/VIEW TRAINING What’s in this section: A Brief History of MSC.ADAMS About MSC.Software Content of Course Getting Help WELCOME TO MSC.ADAMS BASIC TRAINING Welcome to the Advanced ADAMS/View training course. In this course, you learn how to parameterize your model to determine how different modeling parameters influence the design and how to iterate on those to achieve the optimal design. You will also learn how to build macros and tailor the virtual prototyping process within ADAMS/View to specific applications. What’s in this section: A Brief History of MSC.ADAMS About MSC.Software Course Overview Getting Help A BRIEF HISTORY OF MSC.ADAMS ADAMS: Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems. Technology was implemented about 25 years ago. Mechanical Dynamics Incorporated (MDI) formed by researchers who developed the base ADAMS code at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. MDI has been part of MSC.Software Corporation since 2002. Large displacement code. A BRIEF HISTORY OF MSC.ADAMS (CONT.) Systems-based analysis. Original product was ADAMS/Solver, an application that solves nonlinear numerical equations. You build models in text format and then submit them to ADAMS/Solver. In the early 90’s, ADAMS/View was released, which allowed users to build, simulate, and examine results in a single environment. Today, industry-specific products are being produced, such as ADAMS/Car, ADAMS/Rail, and ADAMS/Engine.
