Set Roller Rig Data

(Standard Interface) Adjust -> Set Roller Rig Data

Sets vehicle properties for a roller rig test rig. Using the roller rig test rig, the vehicle data has to be defined so that it can reproduce the dynamic effects of a full-vehicle analysis (for example, vehicle inertia, weights distribution, and aerodynamic effects).

For the option:	Do the following:
The analysis, through the roller rig, takes into account the vehicle mass, wheelbase, and CG height for the weight changes on the front/rear tires according to your driveline model (front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and so on).
Vehicle Mass [kg]	Sets the vehicle mass properties.
Wheelbase [mm]	Sets the vehicle wheelbase.
CG Height [mm]	Sets the vehicle CG height.
Tire Preload [N]	Specifies the nominal tire preload. You must specify the tire preload because you don't have a physical vehicle.
Adams Driveline uses the data for the next three parameters to model an aero drag effect on the vehicle.
Air Density	Sets the air density of the vehicle.
Drag Coefficient	Sets the drag coefficient of the vehicle.
Front Reference Surface	Set the front reference surface of the vehicle.
