How can we couple EDEM with MSC ADAMS

Adil_20474

Dear forum,

I wish to know, how do we couple EDEM with MSC ADAMS. I was going through a tutorial on (https://www.edemsimulation.com) about it, in which it was said that there are some coupling files known as Adams Co-Simulation Interface (ACSI) files. The tutorial says that these files are located in the learning page. I could not find those files. Can anybody tell, how to get those files. Do these files come as a part of EDEM installer or have to be downloaded from the Altair website.

Regards,

Hi Adil,

I uploaded an EDEM-Adams tutorial which contains the co-sim interface here:

You can find the files in the zip in the above link.

Hi,

I noticed there is a Coupling EDEM with Adams eLearning on the Altair website. However, that eLearning does not have all the necessary files and models necessary to follow along in the ZIP file attached to it. Does anyone happen to have these additional files?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hmmm. I don't see that on the "Altair" website, but I do see it on the "EDEM" website. The Altair website only has an e-learning for coupling EDEM with MotionSolve (guess they don't like promoting a competitor solution ☺). However, Stephen's post does include the Adams binary and ACSI cosim files for use.

On the "EDEM" website, the "Coupling EDEM with Adams eLearning" doesn't have any zip file I can see (the video transcript states "From your Adams model directory, open the Blank.cosim file that was provided with the EDEM for Adams installer", which I'm not familiar with). But this e-learning isn't really a tutorial either, it's really just a visual overview of the process, not a step-by-step replay you follow with your own files. I'd definitely favor Stephen's tutorial if you're wanting to try it out yourself.
