I have a suspension model in Adams/view. I get the Transfer Function (TF)with 2 method:
1. via adams/vibration with defining the input and output channel I want.

2. In adams/view, I run a simulation under the same input, then I export the input and response (which is the output) data to a txt file. I import the txt file into Matlab to calculate the transfer function using the formula H(w)=FFT(ouput)/FFT(input).

But the problem is that the TF in 2 method only share the same shape (reach peak at the same frequency), but have huge difference in magnitude (almost 10000 times).

The attachment is the result I get.

how does this come? Is there anywhere I made a mistake ?
