FSAE Kinematic Analysis Outputs

User: "Felipe Espinosa"

Hi everybody.

I am currently running a kinematics analysis on a FSAE vehicle in MotionView. 
The question is: where can I find information about the outputs generated by the different simulations? 

When running a 'static ride' simulation, and showing the report, common data is shown as: camber gains, bump steer, etc. I am missing the data regarding motion ratio between wheel displacement and damper stroke, data from roll centers, etc. I have looked in the user guide but there’s few information. Also, I think this information must be clear in order to perform a optimisation in HyperStudy. 

 

I attach a picture where I show the results regarding Wheel Rate data, so that everybody sees what I mean.

If these outputs I’m missing are not generated by the templates, how can I custom build one?

Thank you in advance, kind regards.

    Hi @Felipe Espinosa

     

    You can create custom outputs using Outputs>> Expression. Regarding the output Parameters, you can refer to MotionSolver user guide.

     

    For example, DM stands for Displacement Magnitude. You can add such parameters and output the function.

    Thank you Prakash. Is it possible to create an expression that relates two outputs? For example: I want to relate the wheel vertical displacement versus the shock displacement, these both have an output expression already, but when I try to create the expression that relates both it gives me an error.

    Hi @Felipe Espinosa

     

    If the independent variable for both the outputs is time, then you can do a cross plot.

     

    1) Plot Vertical disp Vs time and shock disp Vs time 

    2) FIle>> Load>> Preferences>> Load vehicle tools. This should add math menu in HyperGraph

    3) Math Menu>> Two curves>> Cross Plot
