what format does msc adamas use to read splines?

[JoseGomez]

Dear community, I am trying to model a single-component force with input from a spline created from an array during the simulation I get this error.
The format of the array is CSV, what is the format that MSC Adams recognize?

please help me and thank you for your time

A spline looks like this

SPLINE/60,
,X=0,0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2,
,1.2,10,15,20,
,Y=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,
,4908.0,4908.0,4908.0,4908.0,
,LINEAR_EXTRAPOLATE

Greg I created the spline from a csv file , but it seems that adams does not recognize this format

 

[GregLocock]

Oh well. I think we've got as far as we can, I am not a mind reader.

I don't know how important it is to calculate spline values during simulation. Why not import the data ahead of time using File - Import - Test data and then use the CUBSPL function to change the force according to that spline?
