  • Contact force data for user written subroutines

    Hello, I am trying to build a subroutine for the contact force calculation in a gearbox model. The reason I am trying to use a subroutine instead of the default contact formulation is to take into account the time varying mesh stiffness of…
  • How to get a point X coordinates value using a parameterize approach?

    Hi, I am trying to parametrize an ADAMS/view model, and I need to get a point X coordinates value. I tried to do something like this: .model.ground.point1.Loc_X in the point table editor, but it did not work. So, my question is if it is possible to do…
  • Adams acceleration magnitude

    Hello, I am simulating an experimental gearbox in Adams. When complaring the gearbox vibrations (accelerations) between the experimental measurements and the Adams requests, there is a huge difference in magnitudes. The units in Adams are in…
  • Solver Issues with General Bushes. Am I missing any theory?

    Working in ADAMS/CAR 2017.2 version. I am running a full vehicle simulation on a rough road (Kind of Belgian Pave road) at a constant speed. For the Full vehicle model with Torsion and Control arm suspension bushes are set as "Standard bushes…
  • Steering Compliance modeling in ADAMS car

    I am working truck model , where currenly understeer gradient value is not showning good correction with test result. To benchmark the model with Test result .we are developing steering template with compliance . Could you please share some approaches…
  • Has anyone encountered an animation issue where the Time Range is different than the completed simulation time and only replays to that point?

    I have an issue with animation in ADAMS 2021.1 where I run a model with contacts turned on and the model simulates completely, strip charts update completely, but in animation, the Time Range field shows a shorter range and only replays to that point…

  • Solver abruptly stopping/refusing to start

    Hi, This will be a horribly vague question, but I'm stumped. Here's the situation... Full Tractor-Trailer model in A/View 2021.4. This model has flex bodies, contacts, tires, etc., and has run successfully for years. That is…
  • I import parasolid parts to assemble model. Parasolid geometry linked to a marker PSMAR (location relative to this marker). I want to move PSMAR to a different location but not move the geometry in my assembly. Can this be done?

  • Doubt regarding compliance matrix calculation error in suspension analysis

    I have read online help regarding this matter and understand that whenever we perform a standard event (for eg Suspension Analysis-----> Steering, which I am trying on one of the projects), the compliance matrix is calculated for every Joint and then…
  • Adams command to find out operational system/platform

    Hi, I'm having a cmd-file that I want to be OS independent. Therefore I need to find out on which platform I'm working on and I couldn't find anything in the documentation or here. Probably I have searched in the wrong documentation or in the…
  • Spline with formula behind

    Hello everyone, My model, developed with ADAMS View, has a marker called "Origin" with coordinates {0.0, 0.0, 0.0} and a second marker called "Relative". I am using 2 measurements in order to plot the displacement of Relative…
  • How to turn off display of PCS frames of parts in ACAR templates?

    Hello everyone, How is possible to turn off display of parts (yellow frames) in templates? I am using ACAR 2022.2. ALL parts are turned on in template interface by default now and i can not figure how to turn off display of parts frames. I…
  • How to correct curve normal?

    I'm trying to set up a curve to curve contact but it keeps failing because Adams insists on putting the normal of my spline in some nonsensical direction. I've been trying to follow this help article which suggests changing the working grid but it doesn…
  • How can I build 4 dimension spline to lookup table

    Hello ,everyone I want to use multi dimension(4D) spline to look up the data. That means there are three independent value to find out one output Are there any example or demo for that i can learn? Thanks a lot. Kind Regards…
  • 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…
  • Issue:-1) step size is too small 2) Actuator reached upper force limit

    when i ran static load in adams car , i am frequently facing this error "step size is too small " and Actuator reached upper force limit
  • For engine template, Powertrain_gse refferences subroutine that's brance ID is 777 or 977 , I would like to ask what is the specific algorithm of the engine subroutine 777 and 977 ? Thanks

  • Adams flexbody distributed forces

    Hello, I have an flexible MBD model of an airctaft and a loadcase for air pressure in the form of distributed loads normal to the aircraft elements. I understand that using modal forces I can insert the load to the flexbody but only direction…
  • Check the number of tokens in use.

    I know this should be an easy one. Seems I had a .bat file years ago I could run that would show me how many tokens I currently had in use. I think licensing has changed over the years, and either way what I have, which was using "lmstat",…
