Controlling Analyses Using CONSUBs

Adams Car makes extensive use of the CONTROL command and associated CONSUB user subroutines to perform specific analysis tasks in Adams Solver. These include moving suspension models from the design position to full jounce while suppressing output and running quasi-static steady-state analyses like constant radius cornering. If you customize Adams Car or if you want to better understand the contents of the Adams Command Files (.acf) that Adams Car writes, then the table below describing the purpose of these CONSUBS along with the links to further documentation of the input parameters, will be of use to you.
 
 
ID
Description
900
Runs one or more static solutions to, for example, to adjust tie rod length to set desired toe angle. Adams Car adds a call to this consub when the assembly contains adjustable forces. See Align or Adjust Suspension.
910
Set part velocity and wheel rotational velocity. See Part Velocity Setting.
917
Set part velocity and wheel rotational velocity. See Set Part Velocity.
950
For a suspension assembly, run a quasi-static simulation from time zero (0) to time one (1) to position the suspension at the first point in the loadcase file. Output from Adams Solver to the request, graphics, and results files is suppressed so that plots generated for suspension characteristics verses wheel travel do not have duplicate points
1010
Fixed Body Equilibrium. This is also know as a "settle" analysis.
1020
Static Steady-State Straight Line Equilibrium and Static Steady State Acceleration/Braking. Note in Adams Car the auxiliary column joint is not used.
1021
Quasi-Static Steady-State Straight Line Acceleration/Braking Equilibrium. This sweeps the longitudinal acceleration between 0 and an ending value.
