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 appends the suffix _ssc to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_ssc.
|
|
|
Specify the number of output steps.
|
|
|
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 the longitudinal acceleration to be maintained throughout the maneuver. Enter the desired longitudinal acceleration in g's, where 1 g is approximately 9.81 mls2. Typical vehicles can accelerate anywhere between 0.2 and 0.5 g's.
|
|
|
• throttle off - The powertrain torque is applied to slow down the vehicle.
• braking - The tire forces are applied to slow down the vehicle.
|
|
|
The final lateral acceleration to be reached. Reaching this lateral acceleration signals the end of the maneuver. Enter the desired longitudinal acceleration in g's, where 1 g is approximately 9.81 mls2. The test will ramp the lateral acceleration between 0 and the target lateral acceleration.
|
|
|
Enter the turn radius (in the units specified in the pull-down menu to the right of the Turn Radius text box) of the skidpad on which the vehicle will perform the maneuver.
|
|
|
• Positive value = road banks into corner (that is, outside of turn is higher than inside of turn).
• Negative value = road is off-cambered and banks out of corner (that is, inside of turn is higher than outside of turn).
|
|
|
Select if you want Adams/Car to write information about the assembled model and analysis to an analysis log file.
|
|
|
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Adams/Car displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
• If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, Adams/Car displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
• If recording comments for any other entity type, Adams/Car displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
