Introducing Adams/Machinery A Powerful Simulation Suite for Mechanical Drive Systems Adams/Machinery is a new Adams software solution that allows engineers to efficiently build functional virtual prototypes of their machinery components and systems early in the design cycle, so they can perform a series of virtual tests before committing to building a physical prototype. With this new solution, companies will reduce the number of prototypes, decrease the design cycle and meet their functional specifications in less time. Adams/Machinery is fully incorporated inside the Adams/View environment....

Why Adams/Machinery for Functional Virtual Prototyping of Machines Ease of Use Adams ribbon-style interface and model browser makes it easy for even novice users to create complete, accurate mechanical models. A core package (Adams/View, Adams/Solver, and Adams/PostProcessor) allows you to import geometry from most major CAD systems or to build a solid model of the mechanical system from scratch. You build a system the same way you build a physical system – by creating and assembling parts, connecting them with joints and driving them with motion generators and forces. Adams/Machinery enables...

Easy to Use, Integrated Adams/View User Interface Tightly integrated user interface to help you build, analyze and post-process MBD models with ease. Designed with a focus on system level analysis, Adams/View lets you build models of mechanical systems and simulate the full-motion behavior. You can also use Adams/View to quickly analyze multiple design variations until you find the optimal design. Building Models “The Adams model has subsequently been used to perform an extensive parameter study to find the root cause and solutions to the observed gear resonance.” Christina Exner, Achates Power...

Adams/PostProcessor • View results in tabular and plotted formats • Import physical test data for comparison with analysis results to correlate your models • ompare plots and animations from C multiple simulations • erform collision and clearance studies P • Use broad animation controls to enhance the quality and realism of your animations • Import CAD geometry to enhance the presentation of animations • Create movies from animations and add movies to your presentation • how synchronized animations of your S three-dimensional geometry along with plots and publish the results to the web Improving...

Adams/Machinery Solution Adams/Machinery is a new Adams product fully incorporated inside the Adams/View environment. It contains multiple modeling productivity modules which enable users to create common machinery components more efficiently than by using the more generic standard Adams/View model construction functionality alone. Value Proposition “Adams simulations permitted us to get different loading conditions to be studied through an FE analysis, putting to evidence the most critical loading combinations” Bianchi F., AgustaWestland • Improve engineering productivity: Enable direct, high-fidelity...

This module is for engineers who need to predict the impact of the design and behavior of gear pairs, such as Gear ratio, backlash prediction, on the overall system performance. This module is for engineers who need to predict the impact of the design & dynamic behavior of pulley-belt systems, such as transmission ratio, tension and load prediction, compliance studies, or belt dynamics, on the overall system performance. The detailed fidelity options include: • Choose the gear type with the selection of Spur Gear( Internal/External), Helical Gear( Internal/External), Bevel Gear Straight and Bevel...

This module is for engineers who need to predict the impact of the design and behavior of chain systems, such as drive ratio, tension, contact forces or chain dynamics, on the overall system performance. This module is for engineers who need to predict the impact of the design and behavior of rolling-element bearings on overall system performance. This includes an accurate representation of the bearing stiffness, sensitive to internal dimensions, offsets, misalignments, and clearances. Engineers can predict more accurately how bearing compliance influences the overall motion and loading of the...

Efficient Solvers with Capabilities for Higher Productivity As a powerful numerical analysis application, Adams/Solver automatically solves the equations of motion for kinematic, static, quasi-static, and dynamic simulations. It is designed to build, test, and refine mechanical system models. High Performance Computation “Adams has provided significant guidance to the design and development effort, reducing the number of expensive trials required and, therefore, the overall cost of the development programme.” Unique Capabilities • Enable parallel evaluation of Jacobian matrix • Use state of the...

Product Overview MSC Software makes products that enable engineers to validate and optimize their designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of manufacturing use our software to complement, and in some cases even replace the physical prototype “build and test” process that has traditionally been used in product design.
