Description:

Welcome to the documentation for the Adams Car Python API
This documentation contains online help for the following modules.
database : Register and work with car databases
model : Provides assembly and subsystem object related function
event : Provides methods to event and event set related operations
utils : Contains general utility methods
fmu_export : Methods to export Adams Car FMU

Using the Adams Car Python API:

Import modules and the methods underneath (database, model, event_set, event, utils, fmu_export)

 from msc.ADAMS.acar.utils import backup_file
 backup_file("myfile.txt")
 
 
 from msc.ADAMS.acar.model import Assembly
 from msc.ADAMS.acar.model import get_immediate_children
 mdi_demo_vehicle = Assembly.open("mdids://acar_shared/assemblies.tbl/mdi_front_vehicle.asy")
 child = get_immediate_children('.MDI_Demo_Vehicle.ground','marker')
 front_susp = mdi_demo_vehicle.subsystem_lookup('suspension', 'front')

The Assembly and Subsystem classes inherit from view Python so methods available for the Model
is also available for these classes. For example

1 print(my_assembly.full_name)

2 print(my_assembly.DesignVariables['assembly_file'].value)

Examples:

Examples for usage have been placed in the installation directory under
<installation_directory>/acar/examples/python_api
In it, there are examples which showcase the api:

example1.py - Event manipulation
example2.py - Assembly and Subsystem manipulation
example_doe_driver - An example DOE driver
