Document Summary

Grid settings8: creating links9, modifying the mechanism11. Changing material properties 13: creating constraints (joints) 15, simulating, animating and verifying your model16. Verifying the mechanism17: adding motions (motors)19, adding a spring 22. Adams is a powerful tool that enables you to build, dynamically simulate and analyze, and refine mechanisms. In this tutorial, you will create the 4 bar mechanism pictured below. We will focus on building, simulating, modifying, and trouble-shooting: starting adams. Click start>programs> mcad ecad mcae tools>msc. adams 2003> aview >adams-view. Adams view will open and you will immediately see the following pop-up box. Browse to pick the directory that you will be saving your files to. Keep as is (we want gravity on, in the y direction) Keep these units, but note that we will be using mm(s) This is the main working view that you will be using. Become familiar with it and refer to it when needed. This is the main tool box you will be using.
