Ultra-Fast Macros: User-Written Functions Based on ADAMS/SDK
Trent Meehan · 2000
Customization of ADAMS work involves development of software in the three areas of ADAMS/View pre-processor, ADAMS/Solver, and ADAMS/View post-processor. The ADAMS/View macro language is the obvious choice for automation of many pre and post-processor tasks. However, for very large modeling processes there is a more efficient and higher-performance option - to develop ADAMS/View functions written in C and using the ADAMS/SDK (Software Developers Kit). This paper provides a specific application showing how ADAMS/SDK is an enabling technology. A small and straight-forward example of source code will be provided to illustrate how this approach is ready for general use. This paper, combined with references and resources such as documentation of the ADAMS/SDK toolkit, will give readers confidence to consider this approach for their own applications.
