This blog post is a follow up to a previous blog post (Part 1).  In the first blog post the following topics were discussed: What is a y+ value? Laminar vs turbulent flow. How to determine if your flow is laminar or turbulent? Introduction to wall functions. In this blog we will go into more […]

In this blog I will show you how simple it is to insert an electrical motor into an Adams View model. Let's use an example of a cordless drill. You can access the Motor interface from the Machinery tab in Adams View as shown below: This will open up the Create Motor window: You start […]

The saying goes, “There are many ways to skin a cat.” However, this sounds a bit cruel, so let’s change the saying to “There are many ways to represent gears in Adams View.” This article will show you just a couple of ways to model gears in Adams View, from using couplings for a purely […]

The topic of targeting a specific y+ value for a turbulent flow simulation is a very important topic. There is however a bit of groundwork that needs to be done before being able to build a mesh to target a specific y+ value. In this first part we will focus mainly on the following topics: […]

Did you know about FE Parts in Adams? They are neither MNF based flex bodies nor Adams Flex bodies, but are instead a completely different flexible body type intended for beam or rod applications. FE Parts have been in Adams since the Adams 2014 release. MSC describes it as: “a wholly Adams-native modelling object that […]
