ADAMS/Linear is an optional module of the ADAMS/Solver. ADAMS/Linear starts with the nonlinear equations that ADAMS® generates to describe a mechanical system and then linearizes the equations about a selected simulation state and computes eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and state space matrices. The resulting linearized set of equations for a mechanical system model can benefit engineers by: 1) providing a bridge between the large-displacement time domain and the small-displacement frequency domain; 2) aiding in checking and validating ADAMS models; 3) facilitating control system design; 4) assisting ADAMS users in modeling systems with flexible bodies.
