Adams/Solver theory: achieving robust, converged solutions

Objective

This seminar is intended for experienced Adams users wanting to expand their knowledge of Adams/Solver theory. An emphasis will be put on tying theoretical concepts back to Adams/Solver solution settings (ERROR, HMAX, SI2, MAXIT, etc.). Strategies for creating robust models and sensible solution control settings will be a focus of the course. The various phases of solution (statics, kinematics, dynamics) will be covered in detail and best practices for each will be identified.

Content

• Mathematical descriptions of constraints, body and forces
• Theoretical workings of the static, kinematic and dynamic solvers in Adams
• Numerical Methods for root finding, explicit and implicit integration
• DEBUG/EPRINT interpretation for model debugging
• Error handling strategies for statics and dynamics
• Solver settings for robust static analyses
• Integrator settings for robust dynamics
• Solution convergence techniques
• Modelling best practices

Prerequisites

A working knowledge of Adams as covered in ADM701 and ADM703a.
