Create/Modify Dyno

(Adams Driveline Template Builder) Build → Dyno → New/Modify Shared Dialog Box

Creates or modifies a Dyno.

For the option:	Do the following:
Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Dyno Name	If creating a dyno, enter a name for it. If modifying a dyno, enter its database name.
Attachment To	■Part - Specify a part and a construction frame. Learn about Construction Frames. Your template-based product creates a marker on the attachment part at the location and with the same orientation as the construction frame. (Learn about Markers.) The marker is the J marker of the joint. ■Marker - Specify a marker. The marker is the J marker of the joint.
If you set Attachment To to Part, your template-based product displays the following options:
I Attachment Part	Enter the name of the I-part that the dyno should act on.
J Attachment Part	Enter the name of the J-part that the dyno should act on.
Coordinate Reference	Specify the location and orientation of the dyno by entering the name of a construction frame.
If you set Attachment To to Marker, your template-based product displays the following options:
I Marker Name	Specify the marker that should be used as the I-marker for the dyno.
J Marker Name	Specify the marker that should be used as the J-marker for the dyno.
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.
