Can someone suggest me the easiest way or the flow chart of converting a demo vehicle into an All Wheel Drive vehicle?

    Error1
    Hello Derbas, The older task was getting little complicated, So I have started with the simple task by making the demo vehicle into a front wheel drive because it uses the same template for the suspensions subsystem. And I was able to connect all the connections. But now the problem is rear tire and rear suspension both are colliding with the front tire and suspension. I hope you can help me with this.
  • ​They aren't really colliding, from the Looks of it they are completely overlapping from the beginning ?
     
    In Standard Mode, open the following Subsystems:
     
    YOUR: Front and rear tires and suspension
    Shared: Front and rear tires and Suspension
     
     
    Under adjust, hardpoints, table you will find the coordinates of all the hardpoints
     
    Copy from the shared subystems into your Subsystems and click apply, the components should be then positioned correctly
     
    P.S: If an error occurs, make sure that the copying process didn't add spaces after every value on the last column (Z Values). If so then delete them and press apply again !
     
    Best of luck !
  • Hello, thank you for your reply.
    that worked perfectly, but i don't know why it is not simulating,
    i am getting this error-

  • As it clearly says, something is wrong with the tires
     
    Check them out​, re-assign to them a .tir file
     
    If that doesn't work, run the Simulation in the Event builder rather than other places.
    If you deactivate the static solution there and give it proper Parameters, it will maybe at least simulate the first steps
  • Yes with event builder it worked. Thank you for your help. Still, I am not able to run it with normal simulation?
     
    Also, Is it possible now that I can make communicators in such a way that power can be transmitted to front and the rear wheel with the same power train and it can become 4WD? 
  • Well, it was a Problem with the static Simulation then
     
    The static solver is very sensitive therefore doing it in the Event builder would be better
     
    Regarding your next question, to go from there you will have to figure it out for yourself
     
    Wish you best of luck !
  • Hello, I hope you are doing good.
     
    I m having a small problem, My simulation is working but in the post-processing, it is showing zero value of the torque.
     
    Can you tell me what is the problem?

  • hey
     
    without knowing your System and how you are getting the front torque i can't help you
     
    but if everything you did was correct when it comes to specifying the output then probably​ the 4wd System doesn't work
