    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    Ah I completely forgot to even consider that thanks for bringing it up! I think that fixed all the issues I was having with the model. Thanks for your help Greg!

    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    Ah so I figured out why my moment of inertia is 10^4 larger than original, I was putting in the wrong units! Fixed the units now and the sim is running fine but I'm still unsure about the data I'm getting from post processor view. Will play around with model a little more to make sure mass and...

    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    I've been trying to change the mass and COG location through the Automatic Mass Adjustment option. Does that "suppress" all the other masses in the assembly? When I go to check the overall mass of the entire assembly it shows whatever values I put for mass, COG, and inertias in the Automatic...

    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    Ah I see. Below I attached zip folder containing the two .adm files. New_Model_w_Template_Mass is the file with the mass and inertia tensor that the template comes with by default, it works fine. The other file retry_new_mass is the same model but with the updated mass. Let me know if this is...

    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    Hey Greg So the issue occurs when I change the mass. I'm assuming that it should fix the issue I'm also facing with the spring once mass is sorted out. I tried changing the diagonal and off diagonal elements of the matrix to according to what my CAD assembly has them as but still not able to...

    Issue with mass "breaking" ADAMS Car model

    Hello all I am working on an ADAMS Car template and am trying to run a constant radius cornering simulation with vehicle accelerating. The template comes with suspension hardpoints already defined that I have modified to meet my needs. There also is a weight and moment of inertia tensor that I...

    ADAMS/CAR ARB to Frame Displacement

    Hello, I am just starting on using ADAMS/Car for my Formula SAE team and I'm using the standard model provided by MSC. I have modified our suspension hardpoints including the ARB and I'm trying to look at the forces and displacement of the ARB leaf link (or cantilever arm). Under PostProcessor...
