Trouble with ADAMS/Vibration Example

jpatterson
jpatterson over 1 year ago

I'm trying to go through an ADAMS/Vibration example.  This is the 2-mass, 3-spring "Validation" model.  I can get things to run but never seem to see the vibration results as shown below in the ppt.  (The image below was generated from a "completed" version of the model saved in a different .cmd).  How do I get this to show up?  The instructions in the example just say to "Plot the magnitude frequency response from the vibration analysis" with no clues...

    Hi James,

    Could you please confirm if you ae facing this issue while trying to resize/change the size of the posptprocessor window?

    This is likely a bug. I have escalated this to our development team and can see that there is similar issue that has been logged on the same topic. In the meantime, I will check if there is any workaround.

    Regards,
    Rishi

    Rishi,

    I don't see anything changing when I resize the window or if I "View>Reset GUI dimensions".  Nothing ever shows up under "source" to get me to the Vibration results.  I'm in ADAMS 2024.2.

    Hi James,

    Just to close the loop on this for others' reference: as we discussed in the support ticket, the file being used came from an old version (circa 2003) of the Adams Vibration course. A more recent version of this file (circa 2020) works as expected with Adams v2024.2.
