    Force Moment Method within Full-Vehicle Analysis/Static and Quasi-Static Maneuvers

    Thank you. I will look into exploring those rabbitholes.

    Force Moment Method within Full-Vehicle Analysis/Static and Quasi-Static Maneuvers

    Many thanks Greg. May I ask if there's more efficient way to export a/car results to Matlab other than spreadsheet and manually picking results data? Also - is there a way to find the script (and testrig) used in a/car to execute this simulation? Scrolling through a/car folder didn't help...

    Performing quasi-static simulations. (Simscape/multibody)

    Good day everyone. I would like to model "quasi-static" simulations in Simscape/multibody. I created a vehicle model. Works perfectly well in shaker rig type simulations but I would also like to apply lateral/longitudinal accelerations (using variable gravity/time varying option within...

    Force Moment Method within Full-Vehicle Analysis/Static and Quasi-Static Maneuvers

    Good day everyone, In A/Car there's an option to to do famous (due to Milliken's book) force moment method analysis. While it seem to work as expected, I can't figure out how to get that yaw moment diagram (yaw moment on y-axis and lateral acc on x-axis). Does anyone know how to do it? Also...

    Problem exporting flat pattern (Composites Design) in DXF format.

    Hi All, I'm having a problem with exporting flat pattern (Composites Design) in DXF format. Thing is that everything worked fine but from some point it started exporting "empty" DXF file with no contour (annotations are still there). When I tried checking older parts/files where export was...

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    So far I'm having problem with adopting your transfer function code to my current data (see above uploaded .mat file). This portion: % Now go get the transfer function: options = optimset('MaxFunEvals',1000000,'TolFun',.0000001,'Display','on'); FM0=[ .1 1 0.15 0.23 ] for n=1: 5 [FM,error] =...

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    Thanks Cibachrome, Thing is that requests in A/Car are predefined and it is a bit too complicated to redefine them atm. So I set the units/scaling manually as can be seen in DataImport.mlx that I uploaded. Thank you, Ted

    Here's processing live script. There are also similar live scripts for Pitch, CPLV and tire deflection. Thank you, Tedhttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=89060b77-7edd-4c02-a54d-d9872c6e00fd&file=Heave_AccCompare.mlx

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    OK, I'm back home and able to reply. Many thanks for your help Cibachrome! I already found answers to my initial questions - it was a matter of getting the units/scaling straight: For a frequency response I was using (Live script): Heave_ Chassis Acceleration Response Magnitude Ratio...

    Thanks for great post Cibachrome, I’m traveling right now but will reply as soon as I’m back home. Thank you, Ted

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    In fact I was doing it differently: tfout=tfestimate(usual stiff in here) tfMag=abs(tfout) tfPhase=angle(tfout)*57.3 to approximate phase in deg. Then plot the above as two separate plots. After rescaling Adams signals this gives me reasonable results with heave. Doing it the way you...

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    Thank you Greg, That's what I'm doing now and with some fiddling with signal(exported from Adams) scaling things are starting to make sense. Thank you, Ted

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    Thank you Greg, There's definately a scaling mess which I have to fix first. Regarding your 2nd reply - do you mean plotting abs of tfestimate? I didn't find any other way. May be it's my English playing tricks with me but I couldn't find any other way of plotting other than Db on y axis...

    Frequency response in MatLab question

    Thank you, IRstuff, Problem is that this is my 7th day with MatLab and I know very little at this point. It seems to me that conversion to Db is sort of imbedded in tfestimate MatLab function and I can't figure out how to undo the logarithm in the result plot of this function. When I write the...
