Modify Hydro Bushing

Bushing

Enter the database name of a hydro bushing.

Orient using

Select one of the following:

Euler Angles

Enter the three euler angle values that define the hydromount's orientation.

X Vector

Enter the x, y, and z values that define the direction of the x-vector along which the hydromount will be oriented.

Z Vector

Enter the x, y, and z values that define the direction of the z-vector along which the hydromount will be oriented.

Linear Preload

Enter the initial translational force loading on the bushing, defined along the x-, y-, and z-axes of the bushing. The preload is always superimposed to the hydro force component.

Torsional Preload

Enter the initial torsional force loading on the bushing, defined about the x-, y-, and z-axes of the bushing.

Linear Offset

Enter the initial translational displacement of the bushing, defined along the x-, y-, and z-axes of the bushing. The displacement offset dz0 in the hydro_force is copied from this linear offset.

Rotational Offset

Enter the initial rotational displacement of the bushing, defined about the x-, y-, and z-axes of the bushing.

Property File

Specify the property file that contains the hydro force parameter and the name of the bushing property file.

Symmetric

Enabled when you modify component pairs (or brothers):

When you modify a single component, this option is disabled because a single component is by nature assymetric.

Property File

Select to view property file information. By default, your template-based product displays this information in the Information window, but you can choose to display the information in a text editor.

Apply Property File

Select to cause the UDE instance to match the property file. (Adams Car Ride automatically performs this operation before a simulation.)

Superimpose Bushing

Select to switch the superimposition of the bushing force component on or off.

Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Adams Car Ride displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
