ADAMS/FEA is a software product that simplifies and automates the two-way exchange of data between ADAMS® mechanical system simulation (MSS) software and finite element analysis (FEA) software. With ADAMS/FEA, users can (1)incorporate complete geometric, flexibility, damping, and mass information from a linear FEA model into a nonlinear ADAMS model to incorporate flexible components in a large-displacement dynamic simulation; and (2) pass internal, external, and inertial loading results from an ADAMS analysis into an FEA model, to provide accurate component loads early in the design process. ANSYS, MSC/NASTRAN, and neutral file formats are supported.
