Allows you to define a function by specifying discrete values at specific points in time. During the simulation, ADAMS/Solver interpolates the discrete points using a Cubic Spline function that results in a smooth, continuous curve.
|
X Data |
Enter the x values to represent times during the simulation, in ascending order. |
|
Y Data |
Enter the y values to represent the function output (force, displacement, velocity, or acceleration) at the times specified in the x value list. |
|
Data ID |
Enter the identification of the spline in the MSC.ADAMS database. It can be used to access the same spline in different functions. |
|
CUBSPL |
Select to use the Cubic curve to fit your data points. A Cubic curve works well even if your data points are not evenly spaced. |
|
AKISPL |
Select to use the AKIMA curve to fit your data points. An AKIMA curve is very fast, but may not work as well if your points are not evenly spaced. |
