Dear members
I use the Adams/Car FSAE template to modify for our team's car, but there are some problems. When I try to execute the "KnC(static)" in "Full-Vehicle Analysis", it showed the error:

ERROR: Cannot find the entity specified by the ETYPE and EID arguments.
ERROR: Argument : EID
ERROR: Statement : GRAPHICS/1
ERROR: Line number : 9463

I had read the explanation of EID in Using ADAMS/Solver.But I still cannot understand the exact meaning and how to fix the problem. Have you ever encountered the similar problems?
regards

You are trying to display graphics for an aero force GFORCE/9, which is not in the adm. Aero doesn't work in K&C, I'm surprised this

!------------------------------ DYNAMIC GRAPHICS -------------------------------
!
! adams_view_name='fsae_chassis.aero_forces_undertray_force_graphic_1'
GRAPHICS/1
, FORCE
, ETYPE = GFORCE
, EID = 9
, EMARKER = 828

gets included in the model. Did you add it manually? Quick and nasty fix is to delete it from the adm and rerun the job without building it again.

Cheers
