Importing Physical Test Data

In this section you import physical test data to compare with your virtual test data. We created the physical test data by setting the overcenter_angle on a physical model and measuring the clamping force. Adams/View takes the physical test data and creates two measures. One measure, MEA_1, contains the x data and the other measure, MEA_2, contains the y data for your plot.

To import physical test data:

1.	From the File menu, select Import.

The File Import dialog box appears.

2.	Set the File Type to Test Data.

3.	Make sure that the Create Measures option is selected.

4.	Right-click the File to Read text box, point to Search, and then select $aview_dir/examples/Latch. From the File Selection dialog box, select test_dat.csv.

5.	In the text box to the right of the Model Name menu, enter .Latch.

6.	Select OK.

Note:

Because this is test data, nothing appears on the screen when you import the data.
