Suspension Analysis: Static Vehicle Characteristics

(Standard Interface) Simulate → Suspension Analysis → Static Vehicle Characteristics
Runs a Static Vehicle Characteristics (SVC) Analysis.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Suspension Assembly
Select the Suspension Assembly you want to analyze. The menu lists all suspension assemblies currently open in your session.
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 _susp_svc to form the complete analysis name. For example, if you enter test_45 as the output prefix, the analysis name becomes test_45_susp_svc.
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.
Simulation Mode
Select interactive, background, graphical, event or files only.
Vertical Input
Select one of the following:
■Force - (Total Vertical Force) you can select the total vertical force (that is, axle load).
■Length - (Fixed vertical length) you can define the vertical length of the center of the table for SVC analysis.
Wheel Rolling Radius
Enter real value for front/rear wheel rolling radius.
Show Report
Select to show a report summarizing the most useful suspension static vehicle characteristics calculated.
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.
Learn about Recording Comments.
Select to display an Alignment dialog box where you can set toe, camber and caster alignment values.
