Output from "MagicDraw" into ACAR

Output from "MagicDraw" into ACAR
  • 0
    A customer wants to setup a tool "MagicDraw" to output hard-point data, spring stiffness, and more into ACAR     
    To run a series of linear analysis (initial conditions and full suspension displacement positions) and return in each case the table of modes and frequencies while saving files for each analysis.  
    Has something like that been done?  
    Thanks

    You could do that by writing macros that access your model and loop over all elements of interest.
    They could also put your suspension on the MSC_SUSPENSION_TESTRIG and start the desired analysis.
    That's what I do on a daily base and it's not too complicated.
     
    But maybe a more general approach could be useful for you.
    Check out v2017.2. They added the menu File -> info -> Assembly
    It enables you to dump the required info into an Excel workbook. After that it's a piece of cake to write VB macros that access the values from there and create some command files that run some analysis with varying parameters.
    It'd shift the effort away from ADAMS to writing VB macros if that's something you're more fond of.

    Thanks Martin
    That was my first answer to him, to try to build a series of macros that can put together the model and then run it.
    He doesn't have knowledge of the Command language, so it will take longer for him to learn it and apply it.
    He is looking for another alternative
