General Actuation Analysis - Submit Analysis

(Standard Interface) Simulate → General Actuation Analysis → Submit Analysis

This dialog box used for the following actions:

■Perform actuation analysis on assemblies.

For the option:	Do the following:
Actuation Assembly	Select an assembly.
Assembly Variant	Select the assembly variant you want to analyze. The menu lists all suspension assembly variants of the chosen assembly.
	Switches to the selected variant and adds the required testrig as needed.
Output Prefix	Enter a string that specifies the Analysis Output Name. The string can contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores (_). Adams Car appends the suffix _act to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_act.
Solver Settings File	Select one or more files (extension .ssf) defining the solver settings to be temporarily applied for this simulation (optional). Note: Solver settings files are applied in the order specified, so if multiple .ssf files contain the same solver settings, the last file in the list determines those settings.
	Opens the Solver Settings File (extension .ssf) editor dialog box.
End Time	Specify the time, in seconds, at which the analysis ends.
Number of Steps	Specify the number of Output Steps.
Step Size [s]	Specify the output step size in seconds.
Frequency [Hz]	Specify the output step frequency in hertz.
Actuation Input File	Select file (extension .aci or .gds) defining the functions of the actuators in the assembly used as inputs for the simulation. (optional)
Simulation Mode	Select interactive, background, graphical, event or files only. See Mode of Simulation: Interactive, Mode of Simulation: Graphical, Mode of Simulation: Background, Mode of Simulation: Files_only, Mode of Simulation: Event_only..
Simulation Type	Enter a string corresponding to the desired 'simulation_type'. Make sure that the chosen type is suitable for your model configuration and supported in the macro '.ACAR.macros.mac_ana_ful_sub' or your customization. Typical string values are "fourpost" (default), "dynamic", "sdi" or "static_only".
Create Output Files	Use the toggle buttons to select which output files will be generated by the general actuation analysis.
Create Event Log File	Select if you want Adams Car to write information about the assembled model and analysis to an Analysis Log File.
	Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Adams Car displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments: ■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, Adams Car displays the Entity Comments dialog box. ■If recording comments for any other entity type, Adams Car displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
