Getting Started Using Adams/Durability
Notice that the arm no longer animates in the system. Instead, the display isolates the arm. Also
note that the stress contours exhibit mostly a bending stress state in the arm: blue representing zero
stress in the middle of the arm and red representing high stress along its edges. This is consistent
with the arm’s deformation. Typically, a piston arm inside an engine primarily undergoes axial
(compression) stress due to combustion forces. But these forces are not simulated in this model.
Only the effects of inertia are being simulated.
6. Stop the animation.
