  • How to create jprim in wheel template as in handling_tire.tpl?

    Hello i am trying to make wheel templte similiar as handling tire. Everything works fine, also jprim I am able to make, but how is this done? Created forces elements ti[lr]_wheel has attached jprim: Object Name : ._handling_tire…
  • 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…
  • Trouble making leaf springs

    I'm trying to use the leaf spring generator in ADAMS to model a leaf spring I have in CAD and I can't seem to get the leaf spring to generate. I double checked with one of the standard ones included in the atruck database and that worked fine, so I'm…
  • Default solver settings in Car

    We're considering a change to the way solver settings are being propagated to assemblies. Currently, when creating a new assembly or opening an existing one, we copy over the solver settings from the .__ACAR model, which serves as the de-facto…
  • 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…
  • Problem with symmetric part import

    Hello everyone, I have issue with importing cad geometry in Adams 2021.1, At template level i am unable import cad geometry for both symmetric parts using symmetric option. (i got only one part). At subsystem level i got…
  • For a tire model, is there a way to get its radial stiffness? Thanks

  • Hi! How do I simulate the tie rod forces on a steer-by-wire-system, when one single actuator is used per wheel?

    The goal is to simulate the tie rod force for each wheel, without interference from the forces of the other wheel. Does a steer-by-wire template exist for this purpose? Is there any other way to simulate those forces? Many thanks…
  • How to create a Revolution in A/Car template...

    I have x,y,z coordinates of a profile I'd like to make into a revolution in an A/Car template. In A/View I would just make a dummy revolution by picking points and then replace the points in the mod dbox. This seems (embarrassingly) like it's way to hard…
  • What is the best practice for modelling a locked differential on independent suspension?

    I am trying to model a rear trailing arm system used in BAJA SAE that has a locked differential, it works fine with the differential free, but when I lock the differential, the suspension stops being independent. I removed the subframe from…
  • What would cause an error with "straight line" steering input but not free/locked?

    When I run a straight line acceleration event using free or locked steering input, the event runs and the car performs as expected, but when I run the same event using straight line steering input, the event errors
  • How can I trigger an external action from within the driver control file?

    Hello, I want to trigger an action from within the driver control files that is not an standard output (throttle/steering/clutch etc). Basically I want to do some minimaneuvers to achieve a certain vehicle state, then activate a parking lock…
  • 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…
  • Is it possible to create a hydraulic connection (push/pull only) in A/Car?

    I've slowly been getting to grips with A/Car and I'm now at the point where I'm starting to build my own templates, I've followed the tutorial and all went well and it gave me a better understanding of how Adams ties elements together. Now…
  • Modifying Hard Points in an assembly has made most of the related properties lose their link the subsystem?

  • How do you run a Dynamic suspension analysis?

    I'm new to Adams Car but I want to simulate a dynamic analysis on Car. I want to define arbitary functions but there always seems to be a syntax error and I could not find any good resources online or on the help function to properly define the functions…
