use A / Control in the frequency domain combined with A / vibration

[vinnydp]

I have a simple 1 DOF mass spring damper system. The mass is forced by a swept sine force (5-2000 Hz). I used A/Vibration and I found the charateristic behaviour of this kind of system with an acceleration peack in the resonance frequency. Now I want to add a closed loop control aimed to modulate the input force in order to maintain the mass acceleration to a required value (e.g. 1g). So I need to use A/Control in the frequency domain using as input of the Adams plant a vibration input channel and as output a vibration output channel. Someone can help me, is there any tutorial or guide useful to solve this problem?

Thanks, Vincenzo.

Are you sure you want the controller to work in the frequency domain? That sounds like a typical feedback loop.

Anyway 4 examples are given in the controls folder, I'd have thought running them would be helpful. I use neither product so that's all i know.

Thanks Greg for you answer.
Yes I'm sure i need to work in the frequency domain, I need to sweep all the frequencies from 5 to 2000 Hz.
I have already seen all the examples but all are in the time domain.
Basically I need to apply ADAMS/Control to ADAMS/Vibration instead that to ADAMS/Solver.

I hope that someone can help me.

Cheers,
Vincenzo
