ADAMS后处理--如何把Adams后处理的图片编辑的漂亮

Adams后处理中测量曲线数据的查看与导出作者：Simwe 来源：MSC发布时间：2012-05-29 【收藏】【打印】复制连接【大中小】我来说两句：(1) 逛逛论坛你知道可以以列表的方式查看Adams/PostProcessor中显示的曲线图吗？另外，你可以将一个曲线以数据表的形式导出，也就是说，你能够利用曲线绘图来分类或创建用户自定义的输出文件。

1.Adams/PostProcessor中利用数据列表方式显示测量曲线左键选择一个曲线绘图边框，注意不要点击在曲线、图例或坐标轴上。

另一个方法是可以在Adams/Postprocessor左侧窗口的模型树中选择对应的曲线绘图，在这个过程中可能需要点击一个page前的＋号以将page中的内容扩展开显示对应的曲线绘图。

当选择了一个曲线绘图后，注意在窗口左下角的属性编辑窗口中的Table复选框。

选择Table复选框后对应的属性编辑窗口将变为观察图表显示的控制窗口。

在视窗中原来的曲线绘图变为了HTML格式的图表数据。

下图例子中显示了单摆的X向和Y向位移。

2.Adams/PostProcessor中曲线数据导出方式在Adams/PostProcessor中，导出数据有三种方式：Numeric Data，Spreadsheet 和Table。

Numeric Data和Spreadsheet方式导出数据会导出整个结果集中包含的数据，Table方式导出数据只会导出在你所选择的曲线视图中显示的曲线数据。

例如，如果整个仿真时间为2秒，那么Numeric Data，Spreadsheet方式会导出完整的2秒钟内所有的数据点；那么如果你只想导出1秒钟的数据，那么你可以设定坐标横范围为0至1秒，如下图所示，然后利用Table方式导出数据。

File->Export->Table弹出对话框，在File Name中指定文件名称，将以后缀名".Tab"输出该文件,Plot域中指定那组数据需要输出；你可以直接输入曲线绘图的名称或通过Pick/Browse/Guess工具来找到对应的曲线绘图。

If you follow the steps in this tutorial, youwill learn how to view the simulation results you created in otherMSC.ADAMS products in ADAMS/PostProcessor. The sections inthe chapter are:■What You Will Do in the Tutorial, 4■Starting ADAMS/PostProcessor, 4■Loading the Simulation Results, 5The tutorial takes about 20 minutes to complete.Getting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessor 4Starting ADAMS/PostProcessorWhat You Will Do in the TutorialIn the tutorial, you’ll learn how to:1View reports.2Play an animation of simulation data, including animating the results of a clearance study.3Display simulation results as both xy plots and tables.4View animations and plots simultaneously.Starting ADAMS/PostProcessorYou can run ADAMS/PostProcessor as a stand-alone product or from within other MSC.ADAMS products, such as ADAMS/View, ADAMS/Car, or ADAMS/Engine. The following instructions explain how to start ADAMS/PostProcessor in stand-alone mode. It also explains how to start any add-ons or plugins to ADAMS/PostProcessor. Currently, the only plugin is for ADAMS/Durability.To start ADAMS/PostProcessor stand-alone in UNIX:1At the command prompt, enter the command to start the MSC.ADAMS Toolbar, and then press Enter. The standard command that MSC.Softwareprovides is adams x, where x is the version number, for example, adams2005represents MSC.ADAMS 2005.The MSC.ADAMS Toolbar appears.2Click the ADAMS/PostProcessor tool .For more information on the MSC.ADAMS Toolbar, see the guide, Runningand Configuring MSC.ADAMS on UNIX.To start ADAMS/PostProcessor stand-alone in Windows:■From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to MSC.Software, point to MSC.ADAMS 2005, point to APostProcessor, and then select ADAMS -PostProcessor.For more information on running MSC.ADAMS products from the Startmenu, see the guide, Running MSC.ADAMS on Windows.Getting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessorStarting ADAMS/PostProcessor5Loading the Simulation ResultsWe’ve provided you with simulation results that you can use to learn the basics of ADAMS/PostProcessor. The simulation results are in two files:■ppt_gs.gra - Graphics file containing information that enablesADAMS/PostProcessor to animate a model of a suspension. It also containstime-dependent data describing the position and orientation of each part in themodel.■ppt_gs.req - Request file containing information that enablesADAMS/PostProcessor to create plots of simulation results. It containsinformation about the various data requested and time history of all the requestvalues.In this tutorial, you import these files through the command file ppt_gs.cmd. The command file also sets up several pages containing animations and plots. In addition, it runs a clearance study as it loads the files.The files are located in the directory /install_dir/ppt/examples, where install_dir is the directory where you installed the MSC.ADAMS products. To get the results into ADAMS/PostProcessor, you need to copy the files to your working directory and import the command file.To copy the files:■In the directory /install_dir/ppt/examples, copy the following files to your working directory:■ppt_gs.cmd■ppt_gs.req■ppt_gs.gra■ppt_gs.html■ppt_gs.pngGetting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessor 6Starting ADAMS/PostProcessor To import ppt_gs.cmd:1From the File menu, point to Import, and then select Command File.2Right-click the File Name box, and then select Browse.3Use the Open dialog box to find the file ppt_gs.cmd, and then select OK.4In the File Import dialog box, select OK.The command file that you imported into ADAMS/PostProcessor creates several pages containing reports, animations, and plots. It also runs a clearance study.Familiarizing Yourself with ADAMS/PostProcessorADAMS/PostProcessor has four modes:animation, plotting, reports, and 3D plotting (only available with ADAMS/Vibration and ADAMS/Engine data). It switches its modes automatically depending on the contents of the active viewport. For example, the tools in the Main toolbar change if you load an animation or a plot into a viewport.Figure1 on page 7shows the ADAMS/PostProcessor window. The elements shown are common to all modes.Getting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessorStarting ADAMS/PostProcessor 7Figure 1. ADAMS/PostProcessor WindowThe elements in the ADAMS/PostProcessor window are:■Menu bar - Contains the headings of each menu. ■Main toolbar - Displays commonly used tools for working with animations, plotting results, and reports. It changes depending on whether you are viewinganimations, plots, or reports.■Treeview - Displays a hierarchical list of the models and pages. The tree is especially useful for selecting and identifying objects.■Property editor - Lets you change the properties of selected objects.■Status toolbar - Displays information messages and prompts while you work.■Page - Displays the current page. Each page can display up to six rectangular areas or viewports in which you can place animations and plots.■Viewports - Rectangular areas that display different views of plots, animations, or reports.■Dashboard - Provides functions for controlling animations or plotting results.Status toolbarGetting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessor 8Starting ADAMS/PostProcessorWorking with ADAMS/PostProcessor OverviewThis chapter steps you through working with three of theADAMS/PostProcessor modes: reports, animations, and plotting:■Displaying Reports, 10■Working with Animations, 10■Working with Plots, 12■Viewing Plots and Animations Simultaneously, 17■The Next Step, 17Getting Started Using ADAMS/PostProcessor 10Working with ADAMS/PostProcessor Displaying ReportsThe first page, which ADAMS/PostProcessor displays by default, is a page p1_report, which displays a report of the pages that the command file you imported created. As you can see from the report, you can use simple HTML tags and bitmapped images to display information about the animations and plots in ADAMS/PostProcessor. You can also display reports of clearance studies. For more information on displaying reports and the HTML tags that ADAMS/PostProcessor supports, see the ADAMS/PostProcessor online help.Working with AnimationsNow you’ll review the animation you loaded with the clearance study results that ADAMS/PostProcessor just performed. You’ll view the animations in different ways, including interactively setting the speed at which ADAMS/PostProcessor runs the animations.Viewing an AnimationThe animation that you will view is stored on the page named p2_clearance.To select the animation page:■In the treeview, select p2_clearance.ADAMS/PostProcessor switches to animation mode and displays the first frame of the animation. All the elements in the dashboard change to those forcontrolling animations. The pull-down menu at the top ofADAMS/PostProcessor to the right of the toolbar also changes to Animation toindicate the current mode.Notice the red and green lines in the animation:■The green line tracks the distance between the right wheel (PART_21) and the steering wheel (PART_10).■The red line tracks the distance between the left wheel (PART_22) and the steering wheel (PART_10).Working with ADAMS/PostProcessor11 To run the animation:■At the top of the dashboard, select the Play tool.Notice that ADAMS/PostProcessor continuously plays the animation. You can also set ADAMS/PostProcessor so that it plays the animation only once or plays the animation forward and then backward.To set the animation to play only once:1On the dashboard, select Animation, if necessary.2Set Loop to Once.Interactively Playing the AnimationTo help you investigate the results of a simulation, you can play animation frames forwards and backwards, rewind to an earlier frame, or play only a portion of the animation. In this tutorial, you’ll interactively play the animation by dragging the animation slider.To interactively play the animation:1To rewind the animation, select the Reset tool.2At the top of the dashboard, drag the slider bar back and forth to watch how the animation plays backwards and forwards at the speed at which you drag the slider.Working with PlotsADAMS/PostProcessor also plots the results of simulations so you can interpret the performance of your design. In this section, you’ll view pages with plots on them, modify the plots, and create your own plots.Viewing Pages of PlotsA page, called p3_plots, already exists that contains several plots that you will view. You’ll first view all the plots and then you’ll quickly zoom in on just one of the plots. Notice that p3_plots in the lower left corner is a plot that ADAMS/PostProcessor has displayed as a table. In the treeview, it is still listed as a plot.To view the plotting page:1In the treeview, select p3_plots.ADAMS/PostProcessor switches to plotting mode and displays the plots.2Click the plot in the upper right corner of the window and, from the Main toolbar,select the Expand View tool.ADAMS/PostProcessor displays only the selected plot.3To return to viewing all the plots, select the Expand View tool again.Working with ADAMS/PostProcessor13Modifying Plotting ObjectsYou can tailor the appearance of plots to help you identify the information in the plot more effectively or to make the plot ready for a presentation. In this section, you’ll turn off the grid lines and change the line style of the curves of one of the plots.Displaying the Table as a PlotBefore you begin to change the look of plots, you’ll change the plot displayed as a table (plot_4) back to being an xy plot.To change the table to a plot:1In the viewport, select plot_4.2In the property editor, clear the selection of Table.Turning Off Grid LinesIn ADAMS/PostProcessor, plots contain primary and secondary grid lines that serve as visual guides for inspecting curves. Primary grid lines appear at all major unit sections. Secondary grid lines appear at specified intervals between the primary grid lines. In this section, you’ll turn off the visibility of the grid lines in one plot. You’ll do this by selecting the plot and then editing its properties in the Property Editor.To turn off primary lines:1Click the border of the plot in the upper right corner.Notice that the viewport border turns red to indicate that you’ve selected it. Inaddition, the treeview highlights the plot. You are now ready to edit the properties of the selected plot.2In the property editor, select Grid.3Clear the selection of Visible.4In the property editor, select the right arrow key to display more tabs.5Select 2nd Grid.6Clear the selection of Visible.Changing Color and Line Style of All CurvesNow you’ll use the treeview to learn how to modify a group of common objects all at once. In this example, you’ll change the line styles of all the curves in the plots on page p3_plots.To change all curves:1To expand the treeview so it displays all plots on the page p3_plots, in the treeview, click the plus sign (+) in front of the page p3_plots.2Now click the plus sign (+) in front of each plot on the page p3_plots to see all the objects in the plots.3In the treeview, hold down the Ctrl key, and select each curve on page p3_plots.4In the property editor, from the Line Style box, select Dash.All the curves change to dashed lines.To reset the filter to show all objects:■Right-click the background of the treeview, point to Type Filter, and then select All.Creating New PlotsYou can also create your own plots as shown in the next steps.Creating a PageBefore you can create a plot, you need to create a page for it.To create a page:■On the Main toolbar, select the New Page tool.Because you are in plotting mode, ADAMS/PostProcessor displays plots onwhich to add data. If you were in animation mode, ADAMS/PostProcessorwould display empty viewports for loading animations.To set the layout of the page so it contains two viewports:■In the Main toolbar, right-click the Page Layout tool stack, and then select .Working with ADAMS/PostProcessor15Adding Data to the PlotNow that you have a new page, you can display some curves on it. In plot mode, the dashboard contains the numeric results of loaded simulation results. It displays the objects, measures, requests, and result sets from ADAMS simulations and any results from clearance studies. The results that you have available depend on the output that you requested from your MSC.ADAMS product. For information on the different results you can generate, see your MSC.ADAMS product online help.In this tutorial, you’ll use requests, which provide standard displacement, velocity, acceleration, or force information that will help you investigate the results of your simulation. Requests also let you define other quantities (such as pressure, work, energy, momentum, and more) that you want generated during a simulation.To add a curve to the plot, select the following from the dashboard:1In the dashboard, in the Request box, select REQ1080 TOE CASTER CAMBER (FRONT).2In the Component box, select X, Y, and Z.3Select Add Curves.4Now add more curves by selecting different data from the dashboard and selecting Add Curves.Surfing Through DataIn the previous section, for each request you selected, ADAMS/PostProcessor added new curves to your plot. You can also plot your data without accumulating curves on your plot. This is called surfing. It is convenient for quickly looking at different data.To quickly add data without creating new curves:1Select the plot on the right.2In the dashboard, select Surf.3Select the data that you’d like to view, as explained earlier.You’ll notice that each time you select data, ADAMS/PostProcessor replaces the existing curves with new curves.Modifying a CurveNot only can you view data in ADAMS/PostProcessor, but you can also change and enhance it. In this tutorial, you’ll change the mathematical expression that creates a curve. To change a curve:1Click a curve on the plot on the left.2At the top of the dashboard, select Math.The dashboard displays the mathematical expressions used to calculate the curve. 3In the Y Expression box, change the mathematical expression, and then select Apply.You can change it in different ways. For example, enter a negative sign(-) in front of the expression to invert the values or multiply the expression by 3.Working with ADAMS/PostProcessor17Viewing Plots and Animations SimultaneouslyYou can place plots and animations together on the same page, and you can also run the animation and see ADAMS/PostProcessor track the corresponding data on the plot as the animation plays.To view plots and animations together:1In the treeview, select the page p4_combined.ADAMS/PostProcessor displays a page containing both animations and plots.2At the top of the dashboard, select the Play tool.ADAMS/PostProcessor plays the animation and displays a line on the plot at the same data point that the animation is displaying.The Next StepYou completed a few of the most common operations in ADAMS/PostProcessor for working with simulation results. Now use the ADAMS/PostProcessor online help as a reference to the many features of ADAMS/PostProcessor.。

实用的Adams使用技巧、教程一，Adams常见问题篇1、ADAMS中的单位的问题开始的时候需要为模型设置单位。

在所有的预置单位系统中,时间单位是秒,角度是度。

可设置:MMKS--设置长度为千米,质量为千克,力为牛顿。

MKS—设置长度为米,质量为千克,力为牛顿。

CGS—设置长度为厘米,质量为克,力为达因。

IPS—设置长度为英寸,质量为斯勒格(slug),力为磅。

2、如何永久改变ADAMS的启动路径？在ADAMS启动后，每次更改路径很费时，我们习惯将自己的文件存在某一文件夹下；事实上，在Adams的快捷方式上右击鼠标，选属性，再在起始位置上输入你想要得路径就可以了。

3、关于ADAMS的坐标系的问题。

当第一次启动ADAMs/View时,在窗口的左下角显示了一个三视坐标轴。

该坐标轴为模型数据库的全局坐标系。

缺省情况下,ADAMS/View用笛卡儿坐标系作为全局坐标系。

ADAMS/View 将全局坐标系固定在地面上。

当创建零件时,ADAMS/View给每个零件分配一个坐标系,也就是局部坐标系。

零件的局部坐标系随着零件一起移动。

局部坐标系可以方便地定义物体的位置,ADAMS/View也可返回如零件的位置——零件局部坐标系相对于全局坐标系的位移的仿真结果。

局部坐标系使得对物体上的几何体和点的描述比较方便。

物体坐标系不太容易理解。

你可以自己建一个ｐａｒｔ，通过移动它的位置来体会。

4、关于物体的位置和方向的修改可以有两种途径修改物体的位置和方向，一种是修改物体的局部坐标系的位置，也就是通过ＭＯＤＩＦＹ物体的ｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎ属性；令一种方法就是修改物体在局部坐标系中的位置，可以通过修改控制物体的关键点来实现。

我感觉这两种方法的结果是不同的，但是对于仿真过程来说，物体的位置就是质心的位置，所以对于仿真是一样的。

5、关于ADAMS中方向的描述。

对于初学的人来说，方向的描述不太容易理解。

之前我们都是用方向余弦之类的量来描述方向的。

ADAMS软件使用技巧【不断更新中……】(2010-03-18 16:23:35)转载分类：MSC标签：adams技巧心得教育声明：所有技巧来自网络收集、笔者个人经验，仅限于学习交流之用，帮助更多的人提高水平。

如果你有好的经验，欢迎添加到评论里面！一、提高ADAMS仿真速度可通过以下两个方法：1、可以把所有的Parts（尤其是柔性体）、Forces、Joints、Markers等等都设置为隐藏；2、取消仿真计算时的更新，即在Simulation Control对话框里取消勾选Update graphics display。

二、如何将ADAMS的处理结果曲线图保存为图片格式？FILE>>PRINT>>类型选IPG或者BMP,具体操作过程如下图所示：三、ADAMS-Car 中添加模版template系统盘的Documents and Settings目录下找到acar.cfg文件用记事本打开，把 ENVIRONMENT MDI_ACAR_USERMODE standard 修改为 ENVIRONMENT MDI_ACAR_USERMODE expert启动car模块，会看到可选模式有两种：标准模式standard和专家模式template builder四、同一台电脑上安装2007R3和2005R2成功安装2007R3和2005R2的软件，然后安装2007R3的许可即可。

原理就是高版本的许可适用所有MSC公司的产品。

而且两者可以同时打开，并不影响使用！五、检查模型：自由度，约束、驱动、冗余六、后处理adams/postprocessor界面下方或左方的工具栏没有了，从哪里可以导出？（经网友实践证明其可行）这个主要是ADAMS显示的问题，我以前遇到过，以为ADAMS出了问题，还重装过很多次。

后来偶然发现不需要重装就可以解决这个问题。

你只要试着将左侧或下方界面的区域拉大，就会重新显示出来的。

第7章ADAMS/PostProcessor使用方法本章主要介绍ADAMS/PostProcessor的使用方法，包括ADAMS/PostProcessor的基本操作、输出仿真结果动画、绘制仿真结果曲线图及对曲线图进行处理，最后通过实例介绍ADAMS/PostProcessor的具体用法。

通过本章的学习可以深入了解和具体掌握ADAMS/PostProcessor的基本使用方法，能够结合用户需求灵活地进行仿真计算结果的观察和分析。

7.1ADAMS/PostProcessor简介7.1.1ADAMS/PostProcessor的用途ADAMS/PostProcessor是ADAMS软件的后处理模块，绘制曲线和仿真动画的功能十分强大，利用ADAMS/ PostProcessor可以使用户更清晰地观察其他ADAMS模块(如ADAMS/View,ADAMS/Car或ADAMS/Engine)的仿真结果，也可将所得到的结果转化为动画、表格或者HTML等的形式，能够更确切地反映模型的特性、便于用户对仿真计算的结果进行观察和分析。

ADAMS/PostProcessor在模型的整个设计周期中都发挥着重要的作用，其用途主要包括：1）模型调试在ADAMS/PostProcessor中，用户可选择最佳的观察视角来观察模型的运动,也可向前、向后播放动画，从而有助于对模型进行调试。

也可从模型中分离出单独的柔性部件，以确定模型的变形。

2）试验验证如果需要验证模型的有效性，可输入测试数据并以坐标曲线图的形式表达出来，然后将其与ADAMS仿真结果绘于同一坐标曲线图中进行对比，并可以在曲线图上进行数学操作和统计分析。

3）设计方案改进在ADAMS/PostProcessor中，可在图表上比较两种以上的仿真结果，从中选择出合理的设计方案。

另外,可通过单击鼠标操作,更新绘图结果。

如果要加速仿真结果的可视化过程,可对模型进行多种变化。

也可以进行干涉检验，并生成一份关于每帧动画中构件之间最短距离的报告,帮助改进设计。

Adams柔性体仿真后查看应力应变首先说明，如果想查看柔性体应力计应变，则mnf文件中必须包含模态应力及应变信息。

下面是我建立的模型。

一个简单的四连杆机构，连杆是柔性体。

进行仿真后进入后处理界面。

首先在ADAMS/View中加载ADAMS/Durability模块，这是柔性体后处理（针对应力及应变的后处理）画曲线和观察动画的前提。

（1）画曲线通过以下路径“Tool-->>Plugin Manager”，在对话框中“Load”一栏对应的ADAMS/Durability打勾。

Step1 查看仿真过程应力及应变最大值以及相应的节点号，以便于下面输出曲线时选择相应的节点。

在主菜单Durability一栏下选择Hot Spots Table，出现Hot Spots Information 对话框，通过此对话框，可以得出得到在仿真过程中各个节点的最大应力。

下图显示仿真过程中最大mises应力。

Step2 进入后处理模块ADAMS/Postprocessor在主菜单Durability一栏下选择Nodal Plot，出现以下对话框。

在Flexible Body 一栏选择柔性体名称，在Select Node List一栏输入想要查看的节点编号，选择Stress或Strain等相关选项，点击确定。

Step3 在窗口区，鼠标右键选择load plot进入画曲线窗口。

在Source选项中选择“Result Sets”，result set里面选择“**_STRESS”，进一步往下选择所需要的输出即可以画曲线了。

如上图所示则画出了我建立的模型中node_371的Mises应力时间曲线。

见下图（2）观察动画功能在加载ADAMS/Durability模块后在窗口区右键选择Load Animation进入动画现实界面。

在下端Contour Plots 选项卡下选择“Contour Plot Type”选项，根据需要选择Deformation （变形）或者Von Mises Stress（米塞斯应力）等等。
