Compile Adams2AD with ADAMS 2010

Hi Rannam,

It looks like there are a couple of issues:

  1. Your compiler calls the IFORTVARS.bat differently than the one the script was written for.
  2. Your version of Adams does not include a batch file to directly call the Adams mdi.bat file.

For issue (1), you will likely have to add an “ia32” switch after “CALL IFORTVARS.bat”.

For issue (2), you can call the Adams mdi.bat file directly. You will probably need to add the full path name, but you can find this on Windows by opening the “Adams -Command” properties. (Start/All Programs/MSC.Software/{Version}, then right click on “Adams-Command”, click “Properties”, and copy the location in the “Target:” box on the “Shortcut” tab). This path will replace the “Adams08r1” in the batch script.

These topics are also discussed at the end of the thread located here: ADAMS2008 and AeroDyn?
