Full-Vehicle Analysis: Tilt Table

Full-Vehicle Assembly

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

Assembly Variant

Select the assembly variant you want to analyze. The menu lists all compatible variants in the selected assembly.

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 _tilt to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_tilt.

Solver Settings File

Select one or more files (extension .ssf) defining the solver settings to be temporarily applied for this simulation (optional).

Opens the Solver Settings File (extension .ssf) editor dialog box.

Mode of Simulation

Select interactive, background, graphical, files or event 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

Select Static or Dynamic to specify the type of simulation.

Number of Steps / Step Size / Step Frequency

Select either of the following:

Tilt rate (angle/time)

Enter the tilt table’s angular velocity.

Maximum Angle

Enter the tilt angle at which to stop the simulation.

Tire Force Threshold

Enter the minimum tire force at which to stop the simulation.

Select Up or Down to specify the direction of tilt.

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 an Alignment dialog box where you can set toe, camber and caster alignment values.
