Dynamic Loadcase Fingerprint Generator

For Full-Vehicle Assembly:
(Standard Interface) Simulate → Full-Vehicle Analysis → Durability Events → Create Dynamic Loadcase (Event Generator)
For Suspension Assembly:
(Standard Interface) Simulate → Suspension Analysis → Create Dynamic Loadcase (Event Generator)
Allows you to build a list of dynamic loadcase events with different RPC datafiles. This utility is available for both full- and half-vehicle simulations.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Model
Specify the system file for front, rear, or full-vehicle model.
ADD RPC Files
Select to browse for single or multiple RPC files. The fingerprint contains individual events for each RPC file specified.
Remove Selected RPC Files
Select to remove an RPC file from the selected list.
Fingerprint Name
Specify the name of the fingerprint.
Generate Fingerprint
Select to generate the specified fingerprint with the individual events for each RPC file specified.
Note:  
■Events will be added for each unique RPC file name. Specifying the same RPC file multiple times will not generate multiple events.
■Global parameters are common for all events in a fingerprint.
■After generating the fingerprint, you may need to edit road/testrig file to specify WFT parameters specific to the vehicle.
Load Type
Select one:
■All
■Component Loads
■Frame Loads
■Steering Loads
■Stabilizer Bar Loads
■For frame and steering loads, select a coordinate system type.
Include Displacement Requests
Select to include displacement requests in the model.
Wheel Force Input
Specify the data channel numbers.
Single Input
Specify various single-input values.
Controller Gains
Specify stiffness and damping gains.
