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 suffix _opposite_travel to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_opposite_travel.

Enter a value that corresponds to the number of solution steps from the lower bounds to the upper bounds of input.

For example, if you specify 10 steps and -100 mm rebound and 100 mm jounce, Adams/Car temporarily creates a loadcase file that contains left vertical wheel displacement inputs of -100, -60, -20, 20, 60, and 100 mm and right vertical wheel displacement inputs of 100, 60, 20, -20, -60, and -100 mm as shown next:

Select interactive, background, or files only.

Enter a real value that fixes the upper limit of wheel-center displacement relative to the input position. A positive value moves the wheel center upward.

Enter a real value that fixes the lower limit of wheel-center displacement relative to the input position. A positive value moves the wheel center upward.

Fixed Steer Position (optional)

Enter a real value that fixes either the rack displacement or the steering wheel, depending on the steering input mode you selected:

The icon shows the difference between the vehicle and iso coordinate systems.

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:
