I'm attempting to model a moving ground in Adams/Car. A moving ground is for instance a suspension bridge or a floating bridge that is subjected to environmental excitation. Is there a method to model a floating bridge using the road builder module ?

I have the necessary excitation data signals that need to be applied to this moving ground. I will then subject this to a full-vehicle simulation to investigate vehicle dynamics. However, so far, I wasn't successful in finding any posts or threads that deal with this topic and I've hit a dead-end. Could someone please help or provide advice?

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with Adams' road builder (I think all the experts are listening anyway).

But I *could* help you with FTire and its own road models. We provide many ways to model stiff and flexible roads with height and friction profiles being location *and* time dependent. These dependencies can be defined by measured data, by analytic formulae for position or velocity, by time series read from files, etc. etc. Let me know if you need to learn more about it.
