Using multiple Adams interfaces

General remarks

• If Simcenter Amesim is the target environment (modes 1.1 or 1.2), the interface blocks are completely independent (viewed as standard submodels by Simcenter Amesim). Thus the possibilities of mixing different block types or settings in a Simcenter Amesim sketch are (in theory) unlimited.

• It is possible to use several different Adams models in a single Simcenter Amesim system (and vice-versa), but it is not possible to use the same Adams model several times in a single Simcenter Amesim system (and vice-versa).

• There are as many blocks used in the target environment as independent systems.

1 This capability only applies to co-simulation modes (not to model exchange modes)– since no solvers are embedded in model exchange blocks.
