Tire Vertical force FZ

Hi everyone,

I am new using Adams Car and I have one question I would like to solve. Recently I have designed a front suspension system and made the assembly. Then, I simulated a static trial (parallel wheel travel), defining also the bound and rebound travel of the wheel. Once I have simulated that, in the postprocess window I have the chance to view parameters such as camber angle, toe, caster, etc. The problem comes when I try to analyse the vertical force of the tire in the contact patch. Anyone knows where to find that menu to plot that results? Can it be done in Adams Car or is it necessary to swap to other kind of Adams?

Thank you for the attention,

It is definitely there in Car. Which Test Rig are you using? I don't have ADAMS any more so i can't tell you directly, but if you post the .adm file i'll find it.
 
Hi Greg,

I have recently found it. There is a little menu at the botom of the postprocessing window and there you can choose parameters for the testrigs.

Thanks for the attention
