Setting up Rock-Cycle Analyses

A rock-cycle Analysis is an Adams Driveline full-vehicle analysis.

During this analysis, Adams Driveline submits the vehicle alternatively to a positive and a negative engine torque simulating a 1st gear - reverse gear engagement, as shown in the figure Effect on Torque. This test modifies only the direction of the engine torque. It does not shift gears.

To set up a rock-torque analysis:

1. From the Simulate menu, point to Full-Vehicle Analysis, point to Driveline Tests, and then select Rock-Cycle.

2. Press F1 and then follow the instructions in the dialog box help for Rock-Cycle Analysis.

3. Select OK.
