3. Creating a Cylinder
To create a cylinder:
1)
From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the
Cylinder tool
.
2) In the settings container, do the following:
Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground. By default, ADAMS/View creates a new part.
If desired, set the length or radius dimensions of the cylinder in the settings container.
3) Click where you want to begin drawing the cylinder.
4) Drag the mouse to size the cylinder. If you specified any of the length and radius dimensions of the cylinder in the settings container, ADAMS/View maintains those dimensions regardless of how you drag the mouse.
5) When the cylinder is the desired size, click.
4. Creating a Sphere
To create a sphere:
1)
From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the
Sphere tool
.
2) In the settings container, do the following:
Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground. By default, ADAMS/View creates a new part.
If desired, set the radius of the sphere.
3) Click where you want the center of the sphere.
4) Drag the mouse to size the sphere. If you specified a radius dimension for the sphere in the settings container, ADAMS/View maintains that dimension regardless of how you drag the mouse.
5) When the sphere is the desired size, click.
5. Creating a Frustum
To create a frustum:
1)
From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the
Frustum tool
.
2) In the settings container, do the following:
Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground.
If desired, set the length or radii of the frustum.
3) Click where you want to begin drawing the frustum.
4) Drag the mouse to size the frustum. If you specified the length or radii of the frustum in the settings container, ADAMS/View maintains those dimensions regardless of how you drag the mouse.
5) When the frustum is the desired size, click.
6. Creating a Torus
To create a torus:
1)
From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the
Torus tool
.
2) In the settings container, do the following:
Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground. By default, ADAMS/View creates a new part.
If desired, set the inner and outer radii of the torus.
3) Place the cursor where you want the center of the torus and click.
4) Drag the mouse to define the radius of the torus. If you specified the radii of the torus in the settings container, ADAMS/View maintains those dimensions regardless of how you drag the mouse.
5) When the torus is the desired size, click.
7. Creating a Link
To create a link:
1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the Link tool .
2) In the settings container, do the following:
Specify whether you want to create a new part composed of the geometry or add the geometry to an existing part or ground.
If desired, set any of the length, width, or depth dimensions of the link.
3) Place the cursor where you want to begin drawing the link and click.
4) Drag the mouse until the link is the desired size and then release the mouse button. If you specified the length, width, and depth of the link in the settings container, ADAMS/View maintains those dimensions regardless of how you drag the mouse.
