MSC SOFTWARE FROM CADENCE
Adams – Multibody Simulation Software
Understand motion, determine loads and improve designs. Adams lets you evaluate mechanical systems using virtual prototypes, before building a physical model.
Discuss Adams with usTechnical Product Overview
Adams brings model building, simulation and results analysis into one environment, helping you assess mechanical system behaviour during development.
Model building with Adams View
Import CAD data and build mechanical models with bodies, joints, contact and friction.
Analysis methods
Run kinematic, static, quasi-static and dynamic analyses under different operating conditions.
Flexible bodies and FEA
Include component flexibility with Adams Flex or ViewFlex and provide dynamic loads for finite element analysis.
Control system integration
Adams Controls connects the mechanical model to control environments such as MATLAB/Simulink.
Design studies and results
Investigate design parameters with Adams Insight; display plots and animations and compare results with test data.
Specialist modules
Adams Car supports virtual vehicle testing. Adams Vibration and Adams Durability extend vibration and durability analysis capabilities.
Where is Adams used?
Vehicle development
Evaluate suspension systems, vehicle dynamics and ride comfort.
Machinery and aerospace
Assess the motion and loads of mechanical systems.
Robotics
Analyse joint loads, vibration and flexible-body deformation to support robot design.

Available capabilities depend on the modules used. We help you select the right combination for your development needs.
