Is there any way to set a variable for initial conditions of joints that have been applied motion in adams solver script (.acf)?

Here is the example of my simulation script.
I would like to set a variable for ICDISP.
 
MOTION/4,JOINT=14,TRANSLATION,VELOCITY,ICDISP=-25,FUNCTION=0
MOTION/3,JOINT=12,ROTATION,VELOCITY,ICDISP=2.532d,FUNCTION=0
SIM/KIN, END=2, STEPS=360
MOTION/4,JOINT=14,TRANSLATION,VELOCITY,ICDISP=-25,FUNCTION=0
MOTION/3,JOINT=12,ROTATION,VELOCITY,ICDISP=0d,FUNCTION=0

  • Hello JSlat,
     
    Yes you are right the system has 0 DOF.
    Actually it is a simple steering system including hooke joints. So i am achieving in here calculating non-uniformity in different steering positions.
    In order to simulate all positions conditions and run optimization study, in the past i have done this kind of approach. Actually system is working so far, however i would like to also add some parameters on initial condition i stucked there.
    Thank you for your advice, i will use that approach. Raised hand
