Python and ADAMS

[trainsnil]

Hello,

I am looking for any documents which can help me to connect Python and ADAMS(Car/View). My intention is to automate ADAMS process with Python script(Read, write etc..)Has anyone came across this.

Cheers.

That's not especially difficult, but you may have to modify the adm and acf files directly rather than getting Car to build them. Translating req files into anything useful may be a stumbling block, I have a proprietary toolbox to do that.

I think your process will look like

read adm
modify adm
write adm
read acf
mod
write
run Car from shell (I haven't done this bit as I don't use Car)
read req
translate into text
analyse results
and back to the top

That's pretty much how I do it, except in Matlab, not Python. You may get some clues from how Car and Insight interact.

Cheers
