Adams Car Ride

Using Adams Car Ride, you can quickly create Adams Car assemblies of suspensions and full vehicles, including Adams Car Ride-provided components important for ride quality, and then analyze them to understand their performance and behavior.

You can analyze each component independently from other systems using a component test rig. You can also use a parameter identification tool for the hydromount component, to quickly determine model parameters that will accurately reproduce test data.

Using the Adams Car Ride four-post test rig for four-wheeled Adams Car vehicle models you can simulate a vehicle traveling over a rough road or simulate a vehicle on a real four-post shaker test machine. You can play displacement or force RPC III file data into the test rig, make your own bumps with table-lookup functions and drive over them, or create and drive over a road-profile surface using a mathematical model for generating road roughness. In the time domain, the four-post test rig also supports sinusoidal sweeps (displacement, velocity, acceleration, or force) and arbitrary Adams Solver functions.
