When dealing with multibody systems, it is common to use rigid body dynamics. However, introducing flexibility in the system can help better capture the system frequencies and thus make precise predictions possible. The Adams ViewFlex toolkit offers a quick method to generate flexibility bodies (or MNF files) in the system, especially for parts with simpler …
Throughout this week, Formula 1 began unveiling its championship contending race cars with innovators such as Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, and McLaren. In automobile racing, winning is inextricably linked in some fashion to speed – the speed of the vehicle, but even more importantly, the speed of technology deployment. Technology that delivers a rapid, first-time-right design. Unified in a perpetual …
Are you a design engineer or a test engineer who works with Adams experts regularly to get the simulation results you want? Are you tired of constantly asking them for results based on only small changes to the vehicle models? And then waiting for them to provide you with those outputs? Adams Explore helps you …
Formula Student is a contest in which university students construct a single-seat formula racing car. It’s not the fastest car that wins, however, but rather the team that racks up the highest overall score across a range of categories: design, financial planning, and sales strategy. MSC Software has provided support to various teams with its …
In this final blog of our Adams-EDEM co-simulation series, Darren Simoni from DSIM Technologies explains how EDEM and Adams have been used during the design of a skid-steer loader to increase the accuracy of system level simulation using less time and effort than traditional load estimation methods.
Today's vehicle and powertrain engineers face increasing challenges to meet fuel economy and drive quality targets, while at the same time keep vehicle cost reasonable. Many of the new engine technologies designed to improve fuel economy create difficulties for the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) engineer, whose job it is to assure a certain level of comfort for the occupants.
