Create IC Motion

(Template Builder) Driveline Components -> Advanced -> IC Motions Activity
Creates an initial-conditions (IC) motion in the model. All Adams Driveline predefined elements already contain IC motion to set up the rotational velocity initial conditions, but if you either create your own elements or connect to parts with a spring damper, for example, you must create an IC motion.
Learn about Setting up Initial Condition Motions Activity Analyses.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
IC Motion Name
Enter the name of the IC motion.
I Part
Select the first part you want to connect with an IC motion.
J Part
Select the second part you want to connect with an IC motion.
Coordinate Reference
Select a construction frame. The IC motion sets up the rotational velocity of the two parts along the z-axis of the construction frame.
Motion Type
Select a type of motion:
■zero velocity - The IC motion rotational velocity will be set to zero during the initial-condition analysis, meaning that the two parts it connects will behave as a kinematic system and have the same rotational velocity.
■inherit vel from front wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the front wheels: typically used for the front differential case part.
■inherit vel from rear wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the rear wheels: typically used for the front differential case part.
■inherit vel from any wheels - The body connected using the IC motion will inherit the rotational velocity from the front and rear wheels: typically used for the central transfer case part.
