The content has been developed to be beneficial to readers who are students or practicing engineers who are either completely new to MBD modeling of have some experience with MBD modeling. The author's lengthy experience using Adams software adds a practical and, occasionally, humorous complement to standard documentation and training materials, intended to benefit you while learning Adams. The book features relatively small examples which you can readily build and execute. This book contains an introduction to Adams theory which provides the basics on how Adams models are formulated and then numerically solved. Finally, this book concludes with some success stories taken from industry"--Back cover ER -
