How do you run a Dynamic suspension analysis?

utkarsh.verma

I'm new to Adams Car but I want to simulate a dynamic analysis on Car. I want to define arbitary functions but there always seems to be a syntax error and I could not find any good resources online or on the help function to properly define the functions to run the analyses. Please help!

    Have you looked under "Run-Time Functions" in the ADAMS/View > View Function Builder?
    What exactly are you trying to do?

    Dynamic
    I want to run a suspension analysis with displacement excitations given to the tire contact patch in a Suspension Assembly on Adams Car. The menu looking as such as provided in this image. I have not a lot of experience with the software and would appreciate if I could get an idea of how to write correct functions for this menu.
     
    Thanks!

    Have you tried something simple, like "50*sin(2*pi*time/10)"
