2 Adams/Flex
Introduction
Introduction
It is not necessary to perform a finite element analysis of your component to generate an Adams/Flex body. It is also possible to generate a flexible body in Adams from modal test data stored in a Universal file format. You can translate the Universal file into a Modal Neutral File (MNF) that you can use to create a flexible body with a constant coupling inertia invariant formulation. For more information on invariant formulations, see Modifying the Modal Formulation. Learn more about:
Universal File Format Requirements Translating Universal File to MNF
Note:
Only the real, translational components of the mode shapes will be considered by Adams/Flex. Consequently, the component will be infinitely stiff with respect to rotational deformations.
Adams/View supports Universal files exported from I-DEAS, CADAX, or STAR, which meet these requirements. Units The Universal file can be in any set of units that Adams/View supports. Learn about Units of Measurement in Adams/View. Other Required Data In addition to providing a Universal File containing the modal response of the component, you will also be required to provide the total mass and inertia of the component as well as the center of mass location. Limitations Because it is difficult to capture a components distribution of mass using experiment methods, the MNF will only contain inertia invariants describing the global inertia properties, namely invariants 1, 2, and 7. These three inertia invariants are all that is required for the constant coupling inertia invariant
formulation. Consequently, an Adams/Flex flexible body created from modal test data should exclusively use the constant coupling inertia invariant formulation.
