Can someone suggest me the easiest way or the flow chart of converting a demo vehicle into an All Wheel Drive vehicle?

    Okay so this took a bit of hacking and I'm sure there is a better way of doing it but here it goes:
     
    1- go to simulate -> ​full vehicle Analysis -> vehicle Analysis -> set full vehicle Analysis
     
    You will see that the drive bias slider is disabled and you cannot move it, to undo this:
     
    2- press the F3 key, the command window should Pop up
     
    3- Copy paste one line at a time and press enter to execute one command at a time:
     
    • interface slide mod slider_name = .ACAR.dboxes.dbox_ana_ful_par_set.s_drive_bias enabled = yes
    • interface label modify label_name = .ACAR.dboxes.dbox_ana_ful_par_set.l_drive_bias enabled = yes
     
    4- you should be able to move the slider to 50% now and press apply
     
    Nevermind it does not work, something happens after running the Simulation and the values return back to what they were

    Firstly thank you for your reply, are you sure that it is the correct answer to my question because after applying it I cannot see an all wheel drive in my demo vehicle.

    the drive bias is basically how much power goes to the front, ​by Setting it to 50% it means that 50% goes to the front and 50% goes to the back
     
    As you can see from the beginning the fields were disabled, i thought by enabling them it would work however when I ran a few simulations to see if it does work, turns out it doesn't
     
    I read a Little bit more about it, go to the adams help and type in "drive bias" then select the Setup Parameters article

    Ok, I will go through that, But my problem is- if you will see the shared database demo vehicle in Adams Car, it is a rear-wheel drive vehicle and I have to make it an All-wheel-drive vehicle may be by using concept AWD.

    ​If I were you, I would replace the front Suspension System with a modified rear Suspension System (you Need to Change the Communicators role so that they get coupled with the correct tires and so on)
     
    Then I would also create new Communicators in the power Train wich will be connected to the front Suspension System. that should do the trick I think
