About Adams/Car

Adams/Car, part of the MD Adams 2010® suite of software, is a specialized environment for modeling
亚当斯/车,MD亚当斯2010®软件套件的一部分,是一家专业的建模环境
vehicles. It allows you to create virtual prototypes of vehicle subsystems and analyze the virtual
车辆。它允许您创建虚拟原型车辆子系统和分析虚拟
prototypes much like you would analyze the physical prototypes.
原型就像你会分析物理原型。
Using Adams/Car, you can quickly create assemblies of suspensions and full vehicles, and then analyze
使用Adams /车,你可以快速创建程序集的悬浮液和完整的车辆,然后分析
them to understand their performance and behavior.
他们理解他们的表现和行为。
You create assemblies in Adams/Car by defining vehicle subsystems, such as front and rear suspensions,
您创建的程序集在Adams /汽车通过定义车辆子系统,如前后悬架、
steering gears, anti-roll bars, and bodies. You base these subsystems on their corresponding standard
转向齿轮,防车厢侧倾稳定杆和车身。你这些子系统基于相应的标准
Adams/Car templates. For example, Adams/Car includes templates for double-wishbone suspension,
亚当斯/汽车模板。例如,亚当斯/汽车包括双横臂悬架的模板,
MacPherson strut suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and so on.
麦弗逊悬架、,齿轮齿条方向盘等。
If you have expert-user access, you can also base your subsystems on custom templates that you create
如果你有专家用户访问,您也可以让您的子系统基于您所创建的定制模板
using the Adams/Car Template Builder.
使用Adams /汽车模板编辑器。
When you analyze an assembly, Adams/Car applies the analysis inputs that you specify. For example, for
分析组装时,亚当斯/汽车应用分析输入您所指定。例如,对于
a suspension analysis you can specify inputs to:
悬架分析可以指定输入:
• Move the wheels through bump-rebound travel and measure the toe, camber, wheel rate, roll rate, and
•通过左右同相的避震回弹行程和测量脚趾,外倾,车轮速度,滚
side-view swing arm length.
率,侧视摆臂长度来移动车轮。
• Apply lateral load and aligning torque at the tire contact path and measure the toe change and
•应用横向荷载和回正力矩的轮胎接触路径和措施变化和脚趾
lateral deflection of the wheel.
车轮的横向位移。
• Rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock and measure the steer angles of the wheels and the
•旋转方向盘锁,锁和测量车轮的控制角度和
amount of Ackerman, that is, the difference between the left and right wheel-steer angles.
阿克曼,也就是说,左右车轮驾驶角度之间的区别。
Based on the analysis results, you can quickly alter the suspension geometry or the spring rates and
基于分析结果,您可以快速改变利率和悬架几何或春天
analyze the suspension again to evaluate the effects of the alterations. For example, you can quickly
分析悬架再次评估变化的影响。例如,你可以很快
change a rear suspension from a trailing-link to a multi-link topology to see which yields the best
改变从trailing-link一个多连杆后悬挂装置拓扑,以确定哪种方法最好
handling characteristics for your vehicle.
处理特点为您的车辆。
Once you complete the analysis of your model, you can share your work with others. You can also print
一旦你完成你的模型的分析,你可以与他人分享你的工作。您还可以打印
plots of the suspension characteristics and vehicle dynamic responses. In addition, you can access other
块悬浮特性和车辆动态响应。此外,您可以访问
users' models without overwriting their data.
用户的模型没有覆盖数据。
