Adams is the world`s most widely used mechanical system simulation software. It lets you build and test virtual prototypes, realistically simulating on your computer, both visually and mathematically, the full–motion behavior of your complex mechanical system designs.
MD Adams (MD for "multidiscipline") complements MD Nastran as the solver technology behind the MSC SimEnterprise Simulation solution. A complete simulation system for advanced engineering analysis, SimEnterprise delivers the most complete portfolio of integrated simulation and analysis technologies available anywhere.
The MD Adams release supports coupled motion-structures simulation. The bi-directional integration with MD Nastran can be used for exporting Adams models to Nastran for a more detailed NVH analysis or for stress recovery and subsequent use with life/damage calculation.
MD Adams/Car
With MD Adams/Car, engineering teams can quickly build and test functional virtual prototypes of complete vehicles and vehicle subsystems. This helps cut time, cost, and risk in vehicle development and improves the quality of the new vehicle designs. Working in the MD Adams/Car simulation environment, automotive engineering teams can exercise their vehicle designs under various road conditions, performing the same tests they normally run in a test lab or on a test track, but in a fraction of the time.
The MD Adams/Car package includes many functional modules to perform Multidiscipline analyses. These modules are listed below in more detail.
Multidiscipline Value
The value of a multidisciplinary approach goes far beyond an extensive set of analysis capabilities. MSC`s MD Technology is optimized across multiple, integrated disciplines with the power to handle large-scale problems and take maximum advantage of current high performance computing environments. The multidisciplinary focus accelerates across-the-board efficiency improvement by driving early design validation, improved product performance, and rapid insight into product lifecycle performance.
Applications
- Understand the operation of flight control systems in order to improve system safety and ensure compliance with FAA requirements.
- Predict the impact of vibration on the driver of an automobile, airplane, or train in order to design for optimal comfort and minimal vibration and harshness during operation..
- Support machinery manufacturers in modifying existing designs to increase operation speed while reducing vibration.

Benefits
MD Adams and MD Adams/Car Packages
In order to provide the most complete Multi-Body Simulation solution available, MD Adams and MD Adams/Car has been packaged with a suite of modules. These modules allow the simulation of systems ranging from simple to sophisticated.
MD Adams Benefits
- Improve quality by quickly optimizing full-system performance.
- Increase innovation by exploring many design concepts quickly and efficiently.
- Drive manufacturing cost down by moving simulation technologies to the front of
- the new product development cycle.
- Explore more design alternatives, predict system-level functional performance, and accurately assess lifecycle service (safety, fatigue, durability) issues before making costly manufacturing commitments.
MD Adams/Car Benefits
- Reduce risk by having better information at every stage of vehicle design and development.
- Run analyses and what-if scenarios without the costs associated with physical testing on a test track or proving ground.
- Analyze design changes much faster and at a lower cost than physical prototype testing would require.
- Vary the kinds of analyses faster and more easily than if you had to modify instrumentation, test fixtures, and test procedures.
- Spend your time improving your designs. The easy to use interface will let you focus on what`s important.
