ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) is a suite of design software for mechanical system simulation. Employing a graphical user interface and libraries of components, joints, and forces, ADAMS enables designers and engineers to model 3-D mechanical systems as "virtual prototypes." ADAMS automatically outputs displacements, velocities, accelerations, and reaction forces. Simulation results can be displayed as realistic animation or x-y plots. ADAMS simulation are used to evaluate mechanical system performance, range of motion, collision detection, space claims, peak loads, and to calculate FEA load inputs. Two-way interfaces are supported between ADAMS and most CAD, FEA, and controls design packages.
