Bench-Test Analysis

A bench-test Analysis is a generic Adams Driveline analysis in which you can specify an end time and the number of steps.

Adams Driveline assumes that you have previously set the model to perform any kind of analysis. You can use this analysis any time standard analyses (such as step torque, and ramp torque) are not exactly what you want to perform.

To perform this analysis, you must first create either a full-vehicle assembly or a bench-test assembly.

To create either type of assembly:

■From the File menu, point to New, point to Assembly, and then select either Full Vehicle or Bench Test.

To set up a bench-test analysis:

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

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

3. Select OK.
