Creating the Dyno

Now that the template is finished, you can create the dyno element that will deliver a torque to the driveline model. Create the dyno between the front-differential case and the differential housing.

Because the dyno can deliver either a torque or a rotational motion, you can use this template inside a full-vehicle assembly without an engine and a gearbox.

To create the dyno:

1. From the Driveline Components menu, point to Dyno, and then select New.

Note:

Adams Driveline checks to see if you have two communicators that it must use to exchange information with the test rig: cis_torque_demand and cis_throttle_demand. If it doesn't find them, they will be automatically created. These communicators allow you to get values from the test rig for the throttle signal and the engine torque signal.

2. Create the dyno:

■Dyno Name: driveline_input

■Attachment To: Part

■I Attachment Part: ges_diff_case_front

■J Attachment Part: ground

■Coordinate Reference: cfs_front_diff_ref

■Dyno Type: Torque

■Function Type: Torque Demand

■Direction: Clockwise

■Active: On

■Geometry Scaling: 8

3. Select OK.

Save your work:

1. From the File menu, select Save.

2. If you've already performed a save operation, click Yes to create a backup.
