  • Two powertrain subsystems in ADAMS/Car assembly

    Hello, I was wondering if there is possibility two have two powertrain subsystems (front and rear) in one assembly. For example I want to built a car with the edu front and rear with separate powertrain gss for front and rear powertrain…
  • I have stp file that has a lot of parts in it, but I want to disable them to begin with. I thought I could do this easily with a python script but the enable method that should be inherited from object is not usable for some reason (code in details)

    import Adams myModel = Adams.getCurrentModel() # myParts is a PartManager Class myParts = myModel.Parts for p in myParts: pp = myParts.get(p) pp.enable = 0 # This does not work. What do I use…
  • Roller Bearing with Bearing AT

    Hi all, I am getting an error " PCH file for inner/outer ring" not created for any of the roller bearings I select using bearing_AT. Did anyone face similar trouble ?
  • Angular acceleration of a one-stage gear model seems to be non-stationary and/or not converged. What could be the reason for the non-stationary / non-converged acceleration signal? How can I decrease the time till a stationary state is reached?

    I have built a purely torsional model of a one-stage gear system. Flexible bodies, structural stiffness of gears and realistic bearing representation are NOT yet included into the model. First the angular velocity is ramped up to 1804 rpm (0-10sec…
  • How to delete atire wheel/road using cmd-script

    Is there a possibility to delete atire wheel_tire/road elements unsing CMD-script? I can only find the comands to create and modifiy atire objects but no comand to delete those objects.
  • Case VS Forum

    Hello Everyone, I'm new here. There are tow ways to ask my question about Adams applaction, one is CASE another is FORUM. But I don't know what kind of question should be written in Case, and what kind of others question should be in Forum.
  • Adams graphics file does not show animation or any kind of geometries when imported into Adams Post Processor. It shows force and other graphics except geometry. Is it issue with ADAMS license or any other issue.

  • Tyre TIR file customization

    I want to add one tyre in the quarter car model in ADAMS View. I want only lateral and longitudinal stiffness in the tyre of radius 275 mm. My objective is to give only base excitation on the tyre print and analyze the tire's angular and translational…

  • Use of SAVE & RELOAD

    I have a large A/View model that always starts out with the same "short" dynamic event, and then gets sent to several other subsequent events. Looking at the SAVE & RELOAD commands, it seems I should be able to do something like the following two major…
  • Simulation of fmu model from Acar in Simulink

    Hello everyone, I have model of vehicle in Acar. Models works fine in Acar (no warning message,), but if i want to use it in Simulink the simulation ends with Error in supplied FMU: An error occurred in function 'fmi2ExitInitializationMode…
  • Having different cm markers when I apply the same function in one design?

    I have a Damper Model in ADAMS View that has two-part (piston and cylinder in the pic), I need to define the Z direction of the two endpoints toward each other. I can use Along Axis Orientation, and apply it each time for each marker endpoint…
  • How to define BUSHING element in Adams correctly?

    Hello, colleagues. I have a question about proper bushing definition in Adams (especially in Car). Probably this issue have already solved many times, but it is still essential for modelling. The question is: what is the right way…
  • How to setup working directory to point somewhere else then to user dir

    Hello everyone, How is possible to setup working dir so it is not pointing to user dir, like it is in default? In settings and license there is option: but it seems that is not making difference for me. Adams is always starting…
  • Taurus to Sphere contact

    In previous versions of Adams (2017), I was able to have a sphere contact the interior surface of a taurus. This is something I occasionally did for modeling bearing races for one-off stiffness assessments (see attached). To my best recollection, it used…
  • 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…
  • Hello I would like to change a solid to a flexible part. I have created a test model with a "cylinder" (R5mm, L200mm) and an "ellipsoid" (D20mm). The cylinder is attached to ground with a revolute joint and to the ellipsoid with a fixe

    The simultation described behaves as expected and does not produce any errors. Now I want to make the cylinder flexible with the command: "Rigid to flex" --> "Create New" . Component and material are selected and 6 modes are to be displayed…
  • I am using a simulation script that reduces the error tolerance within the stationary part of the simulation (Solver Hastiff SI1). The saved .msg-file tells me that Gstiff I3 is used. How can I check if the simulation script is performed correctly?

    I am doing a convergence analysis on a one-stage gear system. To shorten the simulation time, the run-up simulation is performed using a looser error tolerance. When the assumed to be stationary simulation time is reached, the simulation script step-by…
  • Chain sprocket Modelling

    I am pretty interested in chain dynamics. I used Adams machinery to simulate the chain sprocket but there are a lot of parameters that I must consider. Are there any important articles, papers, or videos that might help to model chain sprockets using…
  • Ideas for smoothing solid-flex contacts (PSHELL)?

    Attached model drags a simple block across a simple flexible plate's surface. Force is too unsteady to be of any use. Even with flexbody rigid, force is unsteady. I've noticed using SI2 solver dramatically helps, but hoping someone out there…

  • Assessing Mode Shapes after a Linear Solve - Kinetic Energy?

    I'm performing a LINEAR analysis of a full Tractor-Trailer model, which is generating many frequencies/mode shapes. I was hoping to mathematically assess these modes shapes instead of visually inspecting each one. On the FEA side, I would look…
