How to fix 'Error Adams(server) simulation startup. AEI_Initialize: Error in initialization.'

Hello,

When I try to compile a very simple system (an Adams_sub with one input/output and a scope) i always get: 'Error in Adams(server) simulation startup. AEI_Initialize: Error in initialization.'

Does anyone already had this issue and/or have an idea to fix it?

Thank you for your help!

You need to check the following addresses to be sure that “ADAMS” built the "adams_plant.mexw32" or "adams_plant.mexw64"file:

Addresses in your computer: If you use “ADAMS 32-bit”: C:\MSC.Software\MD_Adams\2011\controls\win32 If you use “ADAMS 64-bit”: C:\MSC.Software\MD_Adams_x64\2011\controls\win64

If it's missing, you need to download from ADAMS.

Please note that, if you use “MATLAB 64-bit”, you have to compile your model in “ADAMS 64-bit”. Because, “Matlab 64-bit” does not support the “.mexw32” files. And in this case you have the same error.

I ran into the same error. My problem had been deprecated ADAMS model/maneuvre files. I used ADAMS model/maneuvre files from BEFORE i exported the controls plant.

My fix:

Use Controls plugin to export Plant for Matlab first. Export model/maneuvre again with "files only" option.

Start Matlab again. Use adams_sys to build new (!) adams_sys_ model. Take cosim block from there and build up new control system model.
