Adams/Solver theory: achieving robust, converged solutions

ADM703b

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.
