Dyno
A dyno contains a rotational SFORCE and a rotational MOTION. Depending on the mode of the dyno, the force and the motion are active or deactivated. The two dyno modes are:
■Torque mode - Dyno is modeled with a rotational SFORCE. The rotational MOTION is deactivated.
■Motion mode - Dyno is modeled with a rotational MOTION on markers. (Learn about
Markers.) The rotational SFORCE is deactivated.
You can give the input function to the dyno as a:
■Harmonic series, specified in a property file or as user-entered values
■Constant value
■Curve, specified in a property file
■User-entered function
If you are working in Adams Driveline, the following options are also available for dyno type torque:
■Torque Demand - Defined as an Adams Solver variable
■Throttle Demand - Specified in an engine-map property file
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. |
You use dynos in a
Test Rig to drive your system or to define resistance torques.
The dyno outputs the following results:
■angle - Angular displacement in motion or SFORCE
■angular_velocity - Angular velocity in motion or SFORCE
■angular_acceleration - Angular acceleration in motion or SFORCE
■torque - Resulting torque in motion or SFORCE
