Instrumentation Requests

Request 1121

Request 1121 (req1121) used in Adams Car for instrumentation of type acceleration. Refer to request Body Acceleration as Measured by an Accelerometer.
The longitudinal and lateral acceleration are the components of the request.

VARSUB 1109

Variable routine 1109 (var1109) used in Adams Car for creating request of instrumentation of type height.
This function can be used to determine the vertical location of any marker in road reference frame. The function is useful on 3D roads to determine the height of points of interest with respect to road frame. The function determines the normal to the road surface by creating a plane by connecting the first 3 tire contact point locations. If there are four contact point location, 2 triangular planes are created and the normal is the average of normals of the 2 planes. The vertical location of the marker is the dot product of the road normal and the displacement of imrk with respect to rmrk. User needs to make sure that the reference marker (rmrk) used by the function is same as that used in the tire GFORCE statement.
The syntax to access this function is as follows:
VARIABLE/id, FUN=USER (1109,imrk, rmrk)
where:  
 
id
=
Variable statement id
imrk
=
Marker id whose displacement is requested
rmrk
=
(Optional) Reference marker representing the road frame (default = 3)
The ride height is the component of the request.

Request 1139

Request 1139 (req1139) used in Adams Car for instrumentation of type height. Refer to request Corrected Height Sensors.

Request 1124

Request 1124 (req1124) used in Adams Car for instrumentation of type stringpot. Refer to request Normalized Distance Between MARKERS.

Request 1116

Request 1116 (req1116) used in Adams Car for instrumentation of type velocity. Refer to request Sideslip Calculations using Q-Heads.

Request 1090

Request 1090 (req1090) used in Adams Car for instrumentation of type velocity to computes vehicle handling statistics. Refer to special request Sideslip Calculations using Q-Heads.
