You can run ADAMS/PostProcessor as a standalone application, or access

its capabilities within the ADAMS/View environment. Standalone operation
improves start-up speed and reduces overall memory consumption.

ACCESS TO REQUIRED CONTROLS WHILE MINIMIZING VIEWPORT OBSTRUCTION.
The Treeview provides a hierarchical The Main toolbar provides shortcuts to commonly used commands for

Name and type filters allow control
over what objects are displayed. You can
select and highlight objects, and expand
or collapse any Treeview element.

Viewports display post-processing results

as either graphs or animations, with the
interface highlighting the appropriate tools

mode. You can arrange up to six
viewports on a page, and swap their
locations easily. Individual viewports can
also be expanded to fill the page. You can
create and configure multiple pages
independently.

With the Property Editor, you can display

available parameters for a selected object,
change parameter values, and watch as
the object is immediately updated.
Multiple objects can be selected and
updated automatically.
Using the Statistics toolbar, you can
display numerical data for the
corresponding plot curve.
Dashboard controls automatically change based on the mode animation
or plotting of the active viewport. Tabbed containers provide access to
multiple groups of related controls.
