The SUBMIT command allows you to execute an Adams analysis of your model from within Adams/View. Adams/View will create an Adams data set from the model you specify, create an Adams Command File named 'View_Ana.acf', and start a process running the standard Adams executable which will read the associated command file.
You specify either a model or an existing Adams data set. If you select a model, Adams/View will create an Adams data set from it, using the name of the model to name the Adams data set. For example, if your model is 'susp1', Adams/View will write the data set to file 'susp1.adm'. If 'susp1.adm' already exists, Adams/View will rename it 'susp1.bck' and write the new Adams data set based on the specified Adams/View model. You may also specify an existing Adams data set to be used, in which case, Adams/View will not write a new data set.
You can let Adams/View create the Adams command file automatically, based on the SIMULATION_TYPE, END_TIME, NUMBER_OF_STEPS, and the INITIAL_STATIC parameters that you specify, or you can choose to create the Adams Command File yourself, using the edit window to customize the commands to control the Adams analysis. To use the edit window, make the field active and select the "EDIT" button on the panel.
If you do not specify the INTERACTIVE=YES parameter, the Adams simulation is independent of Adams/View. You may continue to enter Adams/View commands as the analysis proceeds. The message "Analysis completed" will appear in the standard output of the window which launched the Adams/View program when the Adams run is finished.
You can choose to automatically load the analysis results when the Adams run is finished, by specifying the LOAD_ANALYSIS_AFTER_COMPLETE=YES and INTERACTIVE=YES parameters. Adams/View will read the graphics, request, and results files (if they exist) from the Adams analysis and store them under an analysis case in the current model database.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether to perform the analysis in interactive mode, displaying the progress of the Adams simulation as it proceeds.
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether to perform the model verification step before beginning the Adams analysis.
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether to load the set of analysis output files after the Adams analysis has completed.
|
|
|
|
Specifies the name of the ANALYSIS into which Adams/View will load the graphics, request, and results files generated by Adams at the end of the simulation.
|
|
|
|
Specifies the name of the user Adams executable to use for this analysis. If no values are specified, the standard Adams executable is run.
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether or not to display the brief form of the information about the analysis being submitted.
|
|
|
Dynamics, Kinematics, Statics, Transient
|
|
|
|
|
Specifies the number of output steps Adams is to use when running a dynamic, kinematic or quasi-static equilibrium analysis.
|
|
|
|
Specifies the size of the output step for a dynamic, kinematic, or quasi-static equilibrium analysis in model time units. STEP_SIZE must be greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifies the duration for a dynamic, kinematic, or quasi-static equilibrium analysis in model time units. The DURATION must be greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
Specifies whether or not Adams is to execute a static solution prior to the main simulation.
|
|
|
|
The SINGLE_ANALYSIS parameter allows you to specify that you want to perform a single analysis on the model, not a DESIGN_STUDY analysis.
|
|
|
|
Specifies the contents of the Adams command file to use to control the execution of the Adams simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Minimum,Maximum,Average,Last_Value
|
Specifies whether to compute the maximum, minimum, or average values of the output requests used from the analyses.
|
You do not need to enclose the file name in quotes if it only contains alpha-numeric characters and starts with a letter. If you want to include other characters, such as a '.' for an extension or '/' or '[]' for directory paths, you must enclose the name in quotes.
When the interactive parameter is set to NO, you may continue your Adams/View session. Also, the LOAD_ANALYSIS_AFTER_COMPLETE parameter is ignored when INTERACTIVE is set to NO. You must explicitly read the results using the FILE ... READ commands.
When the interactive parameter is set to NO, the LOAD_ANALYSIS_AFTER_COMPLETE parameter is ignored. You must therefore, explicitly read the results using the FILE ... READ commands in this case.
If the analysis_name parameter is being used for submitting a design study analysis, the analyses and output files will be named with an appended suffix. The suffix consists of _#__# where the first number is to indicate the 'series' of runs and the second number is the run number within its series. For Example:
When the text edit window is displayed, the contents of the current active field are placed into it. If the contents of the current active field consist of multiple quoted strings, then each string will be placed on a separate line in the text edit window.
Point and click. You can place the text cursor anywhere within the text by placing the mouse cursor at the desired location and clicking on it. Arrow keys can be used to move the cursor left, right, up and down, within the text in the window. The up and down arrow keys will also scroll the window if there are more than 8 lines of text. Carriage-return advances to the next line.
OK - The OK button is used when you are satisfied with the text in the window and that you wish it to be placed into the panel from which you originated. A verification will be performed, and if there are no problems, the contents of the text edit window will be placed into the originating field. If the verification failed, the cursor will be placed at or near the location where the parser detected a problem.
CANCEL - The CANCEL button is used to terminate the current use of the text edit window, and to return to the originating panel without changing the contents of the current active panel field.
VERIFY - The VERIFY button is used to perform a verification on the current contents of the text edit window. It checks for the proper syntax required by the active field on the originating panel. A message will be output indicating success or failure. In case of a failure, the text cursor will be placed at or near the location where the parser detected a problem.
GET_NAME - The GET_NAME button is used to place the name of a marker into the text in the window at the current text cursor location. After the MARKER button has been picked, you may then pick a marker and its name will be inserted at the current text cursor location.
FUNCTIONS - The FUNCTIONS button provides a means of constructing an Adams function string. Upon picking the FUNCTIONS button, you will be presented with the list of available functions in the "selection window". After you select the desired function, a panel will appear with fields representing the various parameters for the function. You will have full access to on-line help with this panel just like you have with regular panels. After you have completed the panel and selected the DONE button on the panel, the function string will be constructed and inserted at the current text cursor location in the text edit window.
INSERT/OVERSTRIKE - The INSERT/OVERSTRIKE button toggles between insert mode and overstrike mode. In insert mode, as characters are typed, any characters to the right of the insertion point on the current line are shifted further to the right. In overstrike mode, as characters are typed, they will replace any characters that they may encounter to their right.
CUT - The CUT button will cut out the line that currently contains the text cursor. The line is remembered until a subsequent CUT is performed. The information in the CUT buffer is accessible for PASTE operations for the duration of the Adams/VIEW session.
control-i set for insert mode, control-o set for overstrike mode, control-d equivalent to OK button, control-q equivalent to CANCEL button, control-x equivalent to CUT button, control-v equivalent to PASTE button
For example: Assume that a variable has a range of 0.1 to 0.8. If you specify 8 cases, the variable will increment by (0.8 - 0.1) / (8 - 1) = 0.1. In other words, you will assign the values 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 to the design variable.
