Using Adams Car to analyze a virtual prototype is much like ordering a test of a physical prototype. You specify the virtual prototype by opening or creating an assembly that contains the appropriate components, or subsystems, that make up the prototype. For example, you create suspension assembly containing suspension and steering subsystems and the suspension test rig.
In Adams Car, you can run suspension, full-vehicle, component and general actuation analyses.
