  • Flexible body Shift

    Hello, I'm creating a flexible suspension subsystem from a rigid subsystem. It involves replacing the control arms and the subframe with MNF files which has been carried out successfully. Next step is to adjust the subsystem to tune the wheelbase…
  • Include geometry in a 3D road file

    I need to include a Racing Track Kerb into a 3D flat road or another 3D road that has part of it flat. If you have a script/tool to do it and you can share it, let me know. Any ideas on how to do it are welcome Thanks Juan
  • How to use local site solver with cosimulation?

    I'm trying to run a cosimulation with an A/Car model with Simulink as the master. My A/Car model use some subroutines that is included in our site solver, but the cosimulation use the standard solver. I have tried to use the "User Defined Library Name…
  • How can I control the value of a "Parameter Variable" during the simulation?

    I need to control a parameter variable during the simulation. For example, when a state variable exceeds 1, the specified "Parameter Variable" is 1. On the other hand, when the state variable is lower than 1, the specified "Parameter Variable" should…
  • How can I control joint forces in Matlab?

    I would like to control the joint forces (no need for torque) in Adams Car-Matlab cosim. For example, a joint force in x, y, and z directions are 50, 150, and 200 N, respectively. When I use the gain function in Matlab, I would like to be able to make…
  • Infinite Analysis Runtime

    Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to force an infinite analysis duration within Adams Car. My intent is to perform a simple analysis, such as straight-line maintain on flat, 2d road, but tell the solver to run until told to stop, so that…
  • Adams Car analysis failed (Toe out)

    Hi guys, I am was trying to create an Baja ATV in Adams car. During acceleration analysis I get Toe out in front suspension geometry and it got steer itself even the steer input was locked. I was trying constant radius cornering and its getting failed…
  • Acceleration analysis failed

    Hi, I tried acceleration analysis in my custom vehicle assembly, and while analyzing the vehicle turn automatically and analysis gets failed. I don't know why its happening. Can someone help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance Attached…
  • Simulation Failed (Program Error)

    I was trying to do an Baja ATV full vehicle assembly analysis in Adams Car, but i get problems while trying to do the analysis as shown in the image. Even though the tire template was a default tire model that was given in acar shared template and other…
  • How to make same request as 907 using functions?

    Hello, I want to make request same as 907 (measuring displacement) but with functions: My request using functions: To obtain same translational displacement for F2 i had to add minus sign: Problem is with angles. Yaw angle values…
  • Suspension ride rate equal to zero.

    Hi, i was trying front suspension analysis, but i don't know what i had mistake but my wheels are not moving when the test rig moves. And also i get some error like this "acar/RIDE **** Error: The left vertical deflection compliance…
  • Static equilibrium analysis problem.

    I am trying an H-arm Camber link suspension type, but I get an error like this "Static equilibrium analysis has not been successful". I checked the constraints with other templates but I couldn't find mistake I had done. Can someone please help me to…
  • Calculation of moment of inertia in Car

    Hello everyone, I do not understand why adams car computes moment of inertia in different way than adams view. If i understand correct Adams view as default uses cm marker for both cm position and orientation. According geometry view orients…
  • Comparison of DLC as open and closed loop event

    Hello, Can you give me some advice about my results of comparison. I wanted to compare double lane change with some maneuver as open loop. I did it this way: I have created Double lane change simulation. In PPT i saved data from…
  • Adams car suspension analysis error. (Initialization of Suspension Characteristics, Calculations Failed error)

    I had trying to analysis my own created template, but when I try a suspension analysis, I got suspension characteristics calculation failed error. Can some one help me to solve this. I attached my assembly file, subsystem file with error msg file. …
  • Suspension parameters array

    Hi, I am trying to design H-arm, camber link rear suspension type for SAE Baja ATV, but why trying to analysis it keeps on asking me for suspension parameter array. But all I know is that suspension parameter array which is for Front suspension because…
  • Dependent components added to a double a-arm setup. Have I defined them correctly and will the TESTRIG play nice with them?

    I am trying to analyse a kinematically cross-linked double a-arm suspension. I have crated a template and made the standard parts following the conventions used in the fsae_2018 template. The 'gel_lower_control_arm' and 'gel_upright' are conventional…
  • Full Drivetrain template in Adams/Car with Adams/Machinery gears

    Hello everyone. I am working on full drivetrain template in Adams Car where Adams Machinery Gears are going to be used. This template should be useful for NVH research purposes. So, because of it, the template built with Adams/Driveline will not be useful…
  • Suspension won't compress

    Hello, I am a student at the University of Leeds using A/Car for my dissertation and only have a few months experience with the software. I have been using the FSAE formula car template and modifying the hardpoints of the suspension components…
  • A/Car is adding a suffix to my file names...

    A/Car 2017.1 on Windows 10... I have some full-vehicle models I run with a file driven event and the external solver. It seems A/Car is now adding a "_1", "_2", etc. to the file names as I call the cmd file for the run. I don't recall it doing…
  • Wheel offset?

    So when I modify the tire/wheel, there is a field for wheel_offset. Which makes perfect sense. The wheel center is a design position on the intersection between the spin axis and the mating surface where the wheel is bolted on. On this design, different…
