MSC ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) is a multibody dynamics simulation software system. It is currenty owned by MSC Software Corporation. The simulation software solver runs mainly on Fortran and more recently C++ as well.[1] According to the publisher, Adams is the most widely used multibody dynamics simulation software.[2] The software package runs on both Windows and Linux.
Capabilities[edit]
Adams has a full graphical user interface to model the entire mechanical assembly in a single window. Graphical Computer-aided design tools are used to insert a model of a mechanical system in three-dimensional space or import geometry files such as STEP or IGS. Joints can be added between any two bodies to constrain their motion. Variety of inputs such as velocities, forces, and initial conditions can be added to the system.
Adams simulates the behavior of the system over time and can animate its motion and compute properties such as accelerations, forces, etc. The system can include further complicated dynamic elements like springs, friction, flexible bodies, contact between bodies.[2] The software also provides extra CAE tools such as design exploration and optimization based on selected paramters. The inputs and outputs of the simulation can be interfaced with Simulink for applications such as control.
Applications[edit]
The Adams software package is used both in academic research and engineering. The most common usage of the software is analysis of vehicle structure and suspension through the Adams/Car and Adams/Tire modules.[3][4][5] Various types of mechanical systems such as wind turbines[6], powertrains[7], and robotic systems.[8]

Mac Adams (born in 1943 in Brynmawr, South Wales, UK) is a British artist.
Early life and education[edit]
Adams studied at Cardiff School of Art & Design 1962–1967. In 1966 he married Barbara Whedon, an American art student studying at Cardiff. He has a daughter Boram born in 1986. Adams Received an MFA degree from Rutgers University (1967–69), where he studied with the fluxest artist Bob Watts. In 1969 while still a grad student he participated in the first ‘Soft Art’ Exhibitions at The New Jersey State Museum, along with Richard Serra. Richard Archwager, Keith Sonnier, and John Chamberlain among others.
In 1970 he moved to New York City where he lived and worked until 2002.
Early mystery work[edit]
In 1974 his first ‘Mystery' series was shown at the legendary112 Green Street Gallery in Soho, N.Y. In 1976 he began showing with the John Gibson Gallery, where he became part of a movement known as Narrative Art. Adams was associated with a group of Conceptual artists who used fictional text and photographs. He separated himself from these artists by not using any text, instead he adopted a more semiotic approach to the narrative in which the photograph became a surrogate for text. The 'Mystery' series had a film Noir quality and an extreme narrative compression.
Throughout his career, Adams recognized that the space between the images can be as important as the image itself. He has come to use the term 'Narrative Void'( a term used in film when speaking of the space between frames) to describe the meaning in the space between images. These works were exhibited at American Narrative/Story Art: 1967–1977 at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Documenta 6, Kassel Germany, 1977, Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, England 1975–76, Galleria Studio G7, Bologna, Italy 1978, Chapter Arts Center, S.Wales, 1979 and The Nigel Greenwood Gallery, London 1978, to name a few. These early photographic works became influential for a generation of artists
At the same time as Adams was making his mystery photographic works, he was also making large sometimes room size installations of fictional crimes. Tableaux's in which the audience was invited to reconstruct the narrative through interpretation and forensic analysis.
Shadow work[edit]
In 1984 Mac Adams began working with shadows. Figurative shadows were projected from structures that were highly abstract, only revealing themselves under certain light conditions. Large outdoor shadow sculptures worked by sunlight responding to the earth’s tilt and shift, e.g.: ‘The Serpent Bearer’ Montclair University 1987. ‘The Fountainhead’ La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, CA 1988, ‘Meditation’ Louis Pasture University Strasbourg, France. 1996. ‘Wings and Wheels’ New Jersey Department of Transportation, Cherry Hill N.J. interior sculptures worked with spotlights projected onto abstract sculptures casting figurative shadows on to walls and floors. Models and sculptures where exhibited at Farideh Cadot Gallery New York City 1887 and John Gibson Gallery NYC. 1992. This work influenced another generation of artists, e.g. Tim Nobel and Sue Webster.
Public work[edit]
Adams has also made over 13 large-scale public art projects. He designed the Korean War Memorial at The Battery in New York City. This was one of the first major memorials dedicated to the Korean War in the United States, and was installed in 1991.[1]
Teaching[edit]
