Hello All,

Does anyone have experience with LMS-DADS simulation software? If yes, do you know if it is capable to simulating motion of a mechanism? On the same note how does ADAMS fare with regards to motion simulation? Anyone has any experience with it?

Thanks,
csk.

DADS is capable of simulating motion of a mechanism--that's the fundamental reason for its existence. Both DADS and ADAMS exist for mechanisms analysis. Both do a good job of it. Each has its individual strengths over the other, but they are both well-regarded.

Bradh,

Thanks for the information. This helps.

Both DADS and ADAMS are well regarded.

LMS has introduced it's next set of CAE tools called LMS Virtual.Lab. Virtual.Lab is capable of Motion, NVH, Fatigue/Durability and Acoustic analysis in one GUI.

DADS is being replaced by LMS Virtual.Lab Motion. One of it's key features is ease of creating models particularly ones with flexible bodies. Flexible bodies can be generated from popular FE solvers or from experimental modal test. That's right... test data in a CAE analysis environment.

LMS call this "hybrid" engineering. The notion is solve your problem with the best data you have available, what ever the source.
