This section describes the sequence of actions
performed by MotionView and MotionSolve when you run the event.
MotionView
- Converts any input signals that are accelerations to displacement signals and saves the
signals to a CSV file saved in the same folder as the acceleration data file.
- Deactivates the AutoTire systems.
- Writes the model to the solver input file. The solver input file references the input
signal files rather than containing the signals.
MotionSolve
- Performs a static simulation on the vehicle during which the vehicle’s longitudinal,
lateral and yaw motions, the steering input, and each wheels’ spin rotation are
locked.
- Unlocks the input signal files.
- Reads the input signal files.
- Runs a dynamic simulation from time=0.0 to the end time, using Akima’s method to
interpolate the input signals.
Note: If the input selected is Force/Moment and the ‘Add Wheel Reaction Forces’ option is
checked, the reaction forces are evaluated on the tires and applied to the wheels.
