Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes. Tips on Entering File Names in Text Boxes. | |
Wheel Name | Enter the Database name of a wheel. |
Cm Offset (optional) | Enter the center of mass offset of the wheel part from the wheel location. Your template-based product applies the center of mass offset along the z-axis of the wheel. |
Mass | Enter the mass of the wheel part. |
Ixx Iyy | Enter values that define the Ixx and Iyy mass-inertia components of the wheel part. |
Izz | Enter values that define the Izz mass-inertia component of the wheel part. |
Center Offset (optional) | Enter the offset of the wheel-center geometry along the z-axis of the wheel part. |
Property File | Specify the property file that contains the data for the wheel. Select the "+" button to add a new property file to the list. Select the "-" button to remove one or more property files from the list. |
High Performance | When selecting a PAC2002 tire property file, the High Performance mode allows the model to run at a high speed with a slight reduced accuracy, see High Performance switch in Adams Car. When selecting a FTire property file, the High Performance Mode allows the model to use the multi-threaded CTI extensions, see FTire HIL with Adams for more information. |
Symmetric | Enabled when you modify component pairs (or brothers): ■yes - Modify properties of both components in a pair. ■no - Only modify properties of the selected component. When you modify a single component, this option is disabled because a single component is by nature asymmetric. |
Check Belt Mass | When set to yes, it will check if the belt mass and inertia can be subtracted from the total wheel mass and inertia as specified under 'Mass', 'Ixx Iyy' and 'Izz'. Note this will be applied only for FTire and PAC2002 with belt dynamics. |
 | 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 view property file information. By default, your template-based product displays this information in the Information window, but you can choose to display the information in a text editor. Learn about: |
