Full-Vehicle Analysis: SS Event Manual Setup

Full Vehicle Assembly

Select the Full-Vehicle Assembly you want to analyze. The menu lists all full-vehicle assemblies currently open in your session.

Body Part

Select the body part. This is usually the chassis rigid body part. Adams Car creates a primitive joint of type inline and a primitive joint of type perpendicular between this part and ground. Learn About Joint Primitives.

Left Front Wheel Center

Select the hardpoint (see Hardpoints) or construction frame (see Construction Frames) that identifies the left front wheel-center position.

Left Front Susp Upright

Select the upright part. Adams Car creates a joint primitive of type perpendicular between this part and the suspension hub.

Left Front Susp Hub

Select the suspension hub part. Adams Car creates a joint primitive of type perpendicular between this part and the suspension upright.

Left Rear Wheel Center

Select the hardpoint or construction frame that identifies the left rear wheel-center position.

Left Rear Susp Upright

Select the rear suspension upright part. Adams Car creates a joint primitive of type perpendicular between this part and the suspension hub.

Left Rear Susp Hub

Select the rear suspension hub part. Adams Car creates a joint primitive of type perpendicular between this part and the suspension upright.

Left Front Wheel

Select the left front wheel. Adams Car references this element in the control array associated with the steady-state cornering CONSUB. For information on CONSUB, see Welcome to Adams Solver Subroutines.

Left Rear Wheel

Select the left rear wheel. Adams Car references this element in the control array associated with the steady-state cornering CONSUB.

Steering Wheel Joint

Select the steering wheel revolute joint.

Left Drive Torque

Enter the powertrain left drive torque. This entity usually corresponds to the rotational actuator created on the left differential revolute joint and acting between the left differential output part and the powertrain part.

Right Drive Torque

Enter the powertrain right drive torque. This entity usually corresponds to the rotational actuator created on the right differential revolute joint and acting between the right differential output part and the powertrain part.

Left Drive Variable

Select the left powertrain data element variable that specifies the drive torque.

Right Drive Variable

Select the right powertrain data element variable that specifies the drive torque.
