Modify Dyno

(Standard Interface) Adjust → Dyno            Shared Dialog Box
Modifies a Dyno.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Dyno Name
Enter the database name of a dyno.
Dyno Type
Select one of the following:
■Motion-Velocity
■Torque
Function Type
Select one of the following:
■Series - Specify the function of the dyno as a Fourier Sine series, by specifying the mean value, order, magnitude, phase shift, and angle multiplier. You also specify the direction of rotation. See Function Type: Series.
■Constant - The input to the dyno is a constant value. The value will have the units corresponding to the choice of actuator (angular_velocity when choosing motion, and torque when choosing torque). See Function Type: Constant.
■Curve - Specify the function of the dyno as a spline depending on time or angle and angular velocity. You also specify the direction of rotation. See Function Type: Curve.
■User-Entered - Lets you create a user-specified function. Note that if you want to specify a velocity function, functions for motions must always use radians. See Function Type: User-Entered.
If you are working in Adams Driveline and have set the Dyno Type to Torque, the following options are also available:
■Torque Demand - The driving torque is expressed as a function of the Adams Solver variable torque_demand. Adams Driveline defines this variable according to the type of analysis you select.
■Throttle Demand - The driving torque is expressed as a function of engine rotations per minute (rpm) and the solver variable throttle demand. The output torque is evaluated using an engine-map property file. See Function Type: Throttle Demand.
Active
Set the activity of the dyno to be either on or off.
Geometry Scaling
Adjust the size of the dyno geometry.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
■If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
■If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
Learn about Recording Comments.
Select to display the Update Instance(s) dialog box, to update more instances of the current type.
