Roadtrain Modeling in Adams/Car

Hugo Cavalini Agudelo
Hugo Cavalini Agudelo over 1 year ago

Hello colleagues,

I am currently developing a sugarcane roadtrain model (as shown below) as part of my master's thesis in Adams/Car.

At this stage, I am working on modeling the dolly. My approach has been to use msc_truck_rigid_tractor as a base, since it already includes a fifth wheel, but so far I have not been successful with this approach.
I would appreciate any guidance from those who have experience with this type of vehicle modeling. In particular, I would like to know whether there are available examples of configurations involving a truck with both a trailer and a semi-trailer.

Thank you in advance for your support.

    Hi Hugo,

    Could you please check if the model msc_tractor_semitrailer.asy from the truck database helps?

    Regards,
    Rishi

    Hello Rishikesh,

    thank you for your reply. I am already using this model as the basis for my project. As far as I know, it is not straightforward to include a dolly  for a second trailer within it.
