Adams/View & Adams/Car Issue

[Fred88]

Hi everybody!
I'm really sure that Adams could perform a feature I want it to do....but I don't have idea about how to implement it (even if I read lot of topics on Adams/Car & Adams/View user guide). In a standard manouver in Adams/Car I prsonalized an Assembly model adding an actuator and a test tire. I wish the actuator started to push on the road the testing tire and stop the actuation when a particular vertical load on tire (Fz) is reached. After that another maneuver on the tire starts: rotation of the tire axis in order to give slip angle to the testing tire (a defined a sin function to govern the tire rotation). The point is how to let the actuator know when stopping his stroke (when the desired Fz is reached!!!). I was reading about "Condition Sensors" and "Feed-back channel" and so on but I believe I must first define a variable (tire. vertical load) to be used in the function builder and stop the actuation.... Is anyone practice with this feature and topics?


Thank you very much

Most likely, the implementation of the desired manerves can only be conducted using the Event Builder. Try to proceed as follows: In the MINI_1 maneuver, set only those values ​​that are necessary for the tire to travel in a straight line. "Abort time" is set here any at which the vertical load has time to grow. In the "Condition" tab for the MINI_1 maneuver, the line "End Mini when" is filled in, where the sensor is indicated, for example, "VertLoad". At the same time, it is necessary to add the MINI_2 maneuver, in which the inclusion of rotational motion and disabling translational (if necessary) is prescribed. As soon as the MINI_1 conditions are met, it will take effect.


Unfortunately, there is no default sensor for vertical loads, so you need to create it yourself in a wheel template (Build - Condition Sensor - New). If the question is still relevant, write here and then I will try to write in more detail.
