Model Auditor
Audits a full-vehicle model using user-entered tolerances. The results are displayed on screen and saved to a text file. See Model Auditor for more information.
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Vehicle Assembly | Select the assembly whose information you want to audit. The menu lists all open full-vehicle assemblies. |
Assembly Variant | Select the variant you wish to audit. The menu lists all full-vehicle assembly variants of the chosen assembly. |
 | Switches to the selected variant and adds the required testrig as needed. |
Report Filename | Enter a string that specifies the report filename. The default filename is the model name appended with “.dat”. |
Solver settings | Select this option to check and report the Solver settings for this assembly variant. |
Beam length vs. diameter | Select this option to check beam element length compared with diameter. |
Part inertias | Select this option to check that all rigid body inertias are physically meaningful. |
Part CG locations | Select this option and enter a distance tolerance to check each part’s CG offset. |
Bushing coincident with ZpXp | Select this option to check bushing locations compared to their Zp/Xp locations. |
Bushing damping fraction | Select this option and enter lower and upper limits to check bushing damping relative to stiffness. |
Maximum bushing stiffness | Select this option and enter a limit to check bushing stiffness. |
Spline validity | Select this option and enter a limit for the 2nd derivative to check the splines used by the following force objects: ■ac_spring ■ac_damper ■ac_bushing ■ac_airspring The following attributes are checked: ■sign convention ■monotony (does not include ac_airspring) ■2nd derivative |
