Parameter
Value Type
Description
bushing_name
An Existing Bushing
Specifies the name of the existing bushing.
new_bushing_name
A New Bushing
Specifies the name of the new bushing.
Adams_id
Integer
Specifies an integer used to identify this element in the Adams data file.
comments
String
Specifies comments for the object being created or modified.
damping
Damping
Specifies three viscous damping coefficients for the bushing force. The three coefficients multiply the translational velocity components of the I marker along the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker. The force due to damping is zero when there is no relative translational velocity between the two markers. DAMPING must be in units of force per unit of displacement per unit of time.
stiffness
Stiffness
Specifies three stiffness coefficients for the bushing force.
force_preload
Force
Specifies a vector of three constant terms for the bushing force. These terms are the constant force components along the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker.
tdamping
Torsion_damp
Specifies three viscous damping coefficients for the bushing torque.
tstiffness
Torsion_stiff
Specifies three stiffness coefficients for the bushing torque. The three coefficients multiply the three rotational displacement components of the body in which the I marker is fixed about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker.
torque_preload
Torque
Specifies a vector of three constant terms for the bushing torque. These terms are the constant torque components about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker.
i_marker_name
An Existing Marker
Specifies a marker on the first of two parts connected by this force element. Adams View connects this element to one part at the I marker and to the other at the J marker.
j_marker_name
An Existing Marker
Specifies a marker on the second of two parts connected by this force element. Adams View connects this element to one part at the I marker and to the other at the J marker.

Extended Definition:

1. The bushing is a massless force with linear stiffness and damping properties. A bushing applies a force and a torque to two parts. You specify a marker on each part for force or torque application. Each force consists of three components in the coordinate system of the J marker, one in the x-axis direction, one in the y-axis direction, and one in the z-axis direction. Likewise each torque consists of three components in the coordinate system of the J marker, one about the x-axis, one about the y-axis, and one about the z-axis. The magnitude of the force is linearly dependent upon the relative displacement and the relative velocity of the two markers. The magnitude of the torque is dependent upon the relative angle of rotation and the relative rotational velocity of the parts containing the specified markers.
2. A bushing has the same constitutive relation forms as a field. The primary difference between the two forces is that certain coefficients (Kij and Cij, where i is not equal to j) are zero for the bushing. You define only the diagonal coefficients (Kii and Cii) when you write the bushing. The following constitutive equations define how Adams uses the data you input for a bushing to apply a force and a torque to the I marker depending on the displacement and velocity of the I marker relative to the J marker. Adams applies a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction to the J marker.

[Fy] [0 K22 0 0 0 0 ] [y]
[Fz] = - [0 0 K33 0 0 0 ] [z]
[Tx] [0 0 0 K44 0 0 ] [a]
[Ty] [0 0 0 0 K55 0 ] [b]
[Tz] [0 0 0 0 0 K66] [c]
[C11 0 0 0 0 0 ] [Vx] [F1]
[0 C22 0 0 0 0 ] [Vy] [F2]
- [0 0 C33 0 0 0 ] [Vz] + [F3]
[0 0 0 C44 0 0 ] [Wx] [T1]
[0 0 0 0 C55 0 ] [Wy] [T2]
[0 0 0 0 0 C66] [Wz] [T3]
Fx, Fy, and Fz are the measure numbers of the translational force components parallel to the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system of the J marker.
The terms x, y, and z are the translational displacements of the I marker with respect to the J marker measured in the Cartesian coordinate system of the J marker. The terms Vx, Vy, and Vz are the time derivatives of x, y, and z, respectively. The terms F1, F1, and F3 represent the measure numbers of any constant force components parallel to the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system of the J marker.
3. . Tx, Ty, and Tz are the rotational force components parallel to the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system of the J marker. The terms a, b, and c are the rotational displacements of the I marker about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the zaxis, respectively, of the J marker. The terms Wx, Wy, and Wz are the time derivatives of a, b, and c, respectively, in the J marker reference frame. The termsT1, T2, and T3 are the measure numbers of any constant torque components acting parallel to the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system of the J marker.
For the rotational constitutive equations (K1, K2, and K3), to be accurate, at least two of the rotations (a, b, c) must be small. Therefore, the bushing force calculations may not be accurate unless two of the three values remain small (that is, smaller than 10 degrees). It does not matter which rotation is largest.
4. You may use this name later to refer to this bushing. Adams View will not allow you to have two bushings with the same full name, so you must provide a unique name. Normally, entity names are composed of alphabetic, numeric, or '_' (underscore) characters, and start with an alphabetic or '_' character. They may be any length. For more information, see Using Extended Names. By enclosing the name in double quotes, you may use other printable characters, or start the name with a numeral. If a name contains characters, or starts with a numeral, you must always quote the name when entering it. Note that you can specify the parentage of an entity (e.g. what part "owns" a marker or a geometry element) when you CREATE it by changing the name. If you enter just the entity name, then the default parent will be assigned by Adams View. If you type in the full name, then you may over ride the default parent. In most cases, when creating an entity, Adams View will provide a default name. The default name that Adams View provides will specify the parentage that it has assumed. You may, or course, delete this name and use your own. The form of a full name is:
"...._NAME.GRAND_PARENT_NAME.PARENT_NAME.ENTITY_NAME"
The number of levels used varies from case to case and the parentage must exist before an entity can be assigned to it.
5. When you use the FILE Adams_DATA_SET WRITE command, Adams View writes an Adams data file for your model. Adams requires that each modeling element be identified by a unique integer identifier. If you use this parameter to specify a non-zero identifier, Adams View will use it in the corresponding statement in the Adams data file. You may also enter zero as an identifier, either explicitly or by default. The next time you write an Adams file, Adams View will replace the zero with a unique, internally generated identifier. Adams View will permanently store this identifier with the element just as if you had entered it yourself. Normally, you would let all identifiers default to zero, and Adams View would generate the identifiers for you. You are never required to enter a non-zero identifier. You only need to specify it if, for some reason, you wish to control the Adams file output.
6. When an Adams Solver data file (.adm) is read into Adams View, all comments associated with a statement (from the end of the previous statement through the end of the current statement) are stored with the object. Comments in the data file can be associated with model. These comments must follow the title statement and be followed by the comment 'END OF MODEL COMMENTS'. This string must be uppercase. When an Adams Solver data file is written, the comments for an object are written before the statement corresponding to the object.
7. The three stiffness coefficients multiply the three translational displacement components of the origin of the I marker along the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker. STIFFNESS must be in units of force per unit of displacement.
8. The three stiffness coefficients multiply the rotational velocity components of the body in which the I marker is fixed about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis of the J marker. The torque due to damping is zero when there is no relative rotational velocity between the two markers.

Cautions:

Adams View will not allow you to have two bushings with the same full name, so you must provide a unique name.
