Hello Altair Team,
I am currently working on a Kinematics & Compliance (K&C) Steering Analysis in MotionView 2024.1. I have configured the K&C setup properly and selected the Steering test. However, I am facing the following issue:
- When I run the analysis without defining any explicit Motion entity (expecting the K&C solver to apply the steering input internally), the results are either blank or not generated.
- To troubleshoot, I tried applying a Motion entity directly to the steering wheel joint. But when I set the motion as user-defined, it shows Error Evaluating in the
User expr
field, and the simulation doesn't proceed.
My key questions:
- Is it mandatory to define a Motion entity manually while performing a Steering K&C test, or does the K&C module apply the steering input automatically?
- Why am I not getting any results when no Motion is applied—shouldn’t the K&C setup handle the steering input?
- If defining Motion manually is necessary, what is the correct way to input the motion without triggering the ‘Error Evaluating’ message?
- Ultimately, how can I correctly obtain key outputs like Ackerman error, steering angles, KPI, scrub radius, anti-lift, and anti-dive without this motion input issue?
Software details:
- Software: MotionView 2024.1
- Test: K&C Steering
- Issue: Results not generated without motion; error in
User expr
when Motion is applied.
I request your guidance on the correct procedure to resolve this issue.
Thank you!
