WELCOME TO MSC.ADAMS BASIC TRAINING
Welcome to the Advanced ADAMS/View training course. In this course, you learn how to parameterize your model to determine how different modeling parameters influence the design and how to iterate on those to achieve the optimal design. You will also learn how to build macros and tailor the virtual prototyping process within ADAMS/View to specific applications.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MSC.ADAMS (CONT.)
Systems-based analysis. Original product was ADAMS/Solver, an application
that solves nonlinear numerical equations. You build models in text format and then submit them to ADAMS/Solver.
In the early 90’s, ADAMS/View was released, which allowed users to build, simulate, and examine results in a single environment.
Today, industry-specific products are being produced, such as ADAMS/Car, ADAMS/Rail, and ADAMS/Engine.
