ADM710 - Flex Body Dynamics and Modal Stress Recovery using Adams
You will learn how to use Adams/Flex to incorporate flexibility into your Adams models. The course is primarily focused on using component modal synthesis via the Modal Neutral File (MNF) and Adams/View. Previous FEA experience is a plus, but not a requirement. You will be comfortable using Adams/Flex after taking this course.
Length: 3 Days
Cost: $1,425
Pre-requisites
- Adams Full Similation users: Basic Adams Full Simulation Course
- Adams/Car users: Adams/Car Course
Topics:
- 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
