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 _parallel_travel to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_parallel_travel.
Enter a value that corresponds to the number of solution steps from the lower bounds to the upper bounds of input.
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.
• Wheel Center - Represents the center of the wheel.
• Contact Patch - Represents the point of contact between the tire and the road.
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:
• If Steering Input = Length, Adams/Car fixes the rack displacement to the value you specified.
• If Steering Input = Angle, Adams/Car fixes the steering wheel to the value you specified.
• Angle - The steering input is an angle applied to the steering wheel.
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.
