1. Defining Points

Points define locations in three-dimensional space upon which you can build your model. They allow you to build parameterization between objects, as well as position objects.

For example, you can attach a link to points so that each time you move the points, the link’s geometry changes accordingly. You can also use points to define the location where modeling objects connect, such as the point where a joint connects two parts. Points do not define an orientation, only a location.

As you create a point, you define whether ADAMS/View should add it to ground or to another part. In addition, you specify whether other parts near the same location should be attached (parameterized) to the point. If you attach other bodies to the point, then the location of those bodies is tied to the location of that point. As you change the location of the point, the location of all attached bodies change accordingly.

To quickly access the Table Editor:

1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack, select the Point tool .

2) From the settings container, select Point Table.

To create a point:

1) From the Geometric Modeling tool stack or palette, select the Point tool .

2) In the settings container, specify the following:

  • Whether you want the point added to ground or to another part in your model.

  • Whether you want to attach nearby objects to the point.

3) If you selected to add the point to another part in your model, select the part.

4) Place the cursor where you want the point to be located and click the mouse button.

2. Defining Coordinate System Markers

You can create a marker defining a local coordinate system on any part in your model or ground. The marker has a location (the origin of the coordinate system) and an orientation. ADAMS/View automatically creates markers at the center of mass of all solid geometry and at anchor points on geometry that define the location of the object in space. For example, a link has three markers: two at its endpoints and one at its center of mass. ADAMS/View also creates markers automatically for you when you constrain objects, such as add a joint between parts.

ADAMS/View displays markers as triads. Figure 2.2 shows how markers appear for boxes and links.
