(Template Builder) Driveline Components -> Advanced -> IC Motions Activity

Creates an initial-conditions (IC) motion in the model. All ADAMS/Driveline predefined elements already contain IC motion to set up the rotational velocity initial conditions, but if you either create your own elements or connect to parts with a spring damper, for example, you must create an IC motion.


For the option:	Do the following:
IC Motion Name	Enter the name of the IC motion.
I Part	Select the first part you want to connect with an IC motion.
J Part	Select the second part you want to connect with an IC motion.
Coordinate Reference	Select a construction frame. The IC motion sets up the rotational velocity of the two parts along the z-axis of the construction frame.
Motion Type	Select a type of motion: • zero velocity - The IC motion rotational velocity will be set to zero during the initial-condition analysis, meaning that the two parts it connects will behave as a kinematic system and have the rame rotational velocity. • inherit vel from front wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the front wheels: typically used for the front differential case part. • inherit vel from rear wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the rear wheels: typically used for the front differential case part. • inherit vel from any wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the front and rear wheels: typically used for the central transfer case part.
