About This Guide

Welcome to ADAMS/SDK

The ADAMS Simulation Software Development Kit (ADAMS/SDK) allows you, as software

developer, to add the power of ADAMS to your products.

This guide describes how to use ADAMS/SDK to build models in the ADAMS modeling database, run

the models in ADAMS/Solver, and extract simulation results. The guide assumes you have an

understanding of modeling in ADAMS and programming experience in the C language. For

information on ADAMS modeling, refer to the ADAMS/View and ADAMS/Solver online guides.
