Suspension Assembly

Select the suspension assembly you want to analyze. The menu lists all suspension 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 name of the loadcase or wheel-envelope file to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix and select ride_input.lcf as the loadcase file, the analysis name becomes test_45_ride_input.

Select interactive, graphical, background, or files only.

Specify the type of files, loadcase or wheel envelope, you want to use. In the text box that follows, enter one or more loadcase or wheel-envelope file(s) taken from active databases. The file(s) contains all the force/displacement inputs that will be applied to the suspension assembly. Learn about loadcase files.
