Problem with 4 poster, ride simulation

User: "Altair Forum User"

Hi, 

 

i've done a full car model of our FSAE car (i literally copied the kinematics and compliance template and adapt it to my car) in order to do the ride analysis but i have some trouble with the model especially i can't control the vertical movement of the jack and i'm not able to the forms. Could someone control my model?

Thank you so much and have a nice day,

Carlo Silini.

    Thank you so much, i've just solved that problem. I've remade the all model and now it works. Now i've another question, i've a points defined function which i want to insert as a jack input. How can i do?

    HI,

     

    What is the use of this function in your model?

    Hi,

    i need to simulate an exponential sweep as shown in the figure. in order to determine the eigenfrequencies of the car. Especially i want to make a model that could be represent my university's 4 posterrig. I saw that the Kinematics and compliance model use the force to determine the movement of the jack. Could i impose the vertical displacement of the jack with that function?

    Thank you so much and have a nice day,

    Carlo.

    Yes,  You can either create an expression or use a curve and impose the same on the translational joint which enforces jack movement.

    Ok thank you Prakash. I've already create the curve but when i insert the reference of the curve in the jack actuation - force the system want to insert a indipendent variable that i don't know how is it.

    HI,

     

    Sorry for a late reply.

     

    What is the Y-axis variable in your curve?

     

    Usually Independent variable is your X-axis variable. If your X-axis is TIME, then your Independent variable is TIME.

    no problem! Yes, time is on the x-axis. Need i create another variable called time? if yes, how i have to proceed?

    Thank you
