| Variable | Value | |
|---|---|---|
| ADRILL_USER_CFG | Full path to the user adrill cfg file (e.g. C:\users\user_name.adrill.cfg) | Optional |
| ADRILL_SHARED_CFG | Full path to the shared adrill cfg file (e.g. C:\MSC.Software\Adams\2018\adrill\adrill.cfg) | Optional |
| ADAMS_LAUNCH_COMMAND | Full path to the adams launch command (e.g. C:\MSC.Software\Adams\2018\common\mdi.bat) |
The adamspy.postprocess package and its submodules likely contain the most useful tools in this library.
Here is an example of getting results from an Adams results .res file
from adamspy.postprocess.ppt import get_results
result_file = 'example.res'
t_min = 70
t_max = 80
reqs_to_get = {}
reqs_to_get['MSE'] = ['Instantaneous_Bottom_MSE', 'Filtered_Surface_MSE']
reqs_to_get['ROP_controls'] = ['Command_ROP', 'True_WOB']
requests, units = get_results(result_file, reqs_to_get, t_min, t_max)The adamspy.adripy package contains tools for automating Adams drill.
