Select the full-vehicle assembly you want to analyze. The menu lists all full-vehicle assemblies currently open in your session.

Enter a string that specifies the analysis output name. The string can contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores (_). Adams/Car generates the output files following this naming convention: the output files are called output_prefix_external_file_name to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, and if you submit a sine_steer.dri loadcase file, then the output file name becomes test_45_sine_steer.

Select interactive, background, or files only.

Enter the name of a file that contains road data information. The tire subsystems use this information to calculate the tire/road interaction forces.

Enter one or more event files from any Adams/Car database. The file(s) contains all the inputs that will be applied to the full-vehicle assembly.
