Creating a Template

You must create a template in which to build a driveline. You should assign driveline as the major role for your template. A major role defines the function the template serves for the vehicle.

To create a template:

1. Start Adams Driveline Template Builder, as you did in Starting Adams Driveline Template Builder.
2. From the File menu, select New.
3. In the Template Name text box, enter AWD_driveline.
4. Set Major Role to driveline.
5. Select OK.
Adams Driveline displays a gravity icon in the middle of the window. If you don’t see a gravity icon, display the main pop-up menu by right-clicking the main window, and selecting Toggle Icon Visibility. You can also toggle the icon visibility on and off by putting the cursor in the main window and typing a lowercase v.
