If modifying a complex spring, enter the database name of an existing complex spring.
I Part
Enter the database name of a part that defines the action part of the complex spring.
J Part
Enter the database name of a part that defines the reaction part of the complex spring.
Construction Frame
Enter the name of an existing construction frame that defines the z-axis about which the complex spring will act.
Property File
Enter a property file suitable for clutch forces. You can enter a new property file name directly in the text box, or right-click to either search the chosen Adams Driveline database or browse for the file using the file navigator.
RPM Solver Variable
Enter the name of an Adams Solver variable that describes the RPM to be used in the hysteresis computation.
Hysteresis Activity
Select if you want hysteresis to be active during analysis:
■yes - Adams Driveline will use both loading and unloading splines.
■no - Adams Driveline will use only the first spline in property file for spring-torque computation.
