MSC.ADAMS
Software Download for MIT Academic Use |
|
MSC.ADAMS 11 is available for general use on almost all the machines
in the Mechanical Engineering "MechEng" academic computing
domain (the exception being the computers in the Undergraduate Control
Systems Laboratory).
In addition,
under the terms of the departmental license, the software may be
downloaded from our server to individual PC's on the MIT campus.
ADAMS training
is also available at a discounted price.
|
Restrictions
on use
|
The terms of
MIT's license from Mechanical
Dynamics Inc. specify that this software is for educational/classroom
use only. You are welcome to download and use this software
as long as you read and agree with the terms in the License Agreement
and the additional Terms for Student Use.
|
Availability
|
This software
is "license served", allowing up to 150 concurrent users.
Downloading and installing the code on your PC is not sufficient
for general use - to use it you must be actively connected to the
internet via a valid MIT IP address of the form 18.*.*.*
When you start ADAMS it requests a license token from the server,
and when this is granted the program loads. Your machine will
regularly contact the server during operation for validation of
the license. Should you disconnect from the internet, the
program will fail. The software will run from machines on
campus, and remotely through MIT's Tether dialup connection.
It will not run remotely through an independent ISP, or through
cable TV connections such as Media One Road Runner, since this would
be off the MIT network.
