Create a Customizable Configuration XML File
The ADAMS files (ADM and ACF) are interpreted by the ADAMS Dataset Reader (ADR), which is responsible for identifying and translating this file's information into XML. The generated XML is the input for MotionSolve.

Without a mapping file, some manual editing is required after the ADR converts the deck to XML format.

With all the various customization features discussed in this chapter, you are able to create your own environment around the core solver. Solver enhancements are available and the product can be customized to suit your needs.
