Is it possible to change the global coordinate system in ADAMS after the model is built? like rotate/translate the entire model?

    I assume that youa re talking about ADAMS/View as it is sort of trivial in ADAMS/Car.
    Yes, it is possible. Make sure that you have the whole model selected, must have icons on.
    Then use the precision move panel from the top line of icons.
    There you can move and rotate your model. Always make sure that you have the model saved first as you will screw up the first time you try to use the rotate buttons.

    You can also use the Edit > Move for this. Again, you can use the select list, or create a group with the while model inside it.
