Introducing of user interface and controls of SW ADAMS. Creating a basic geometric objects, editing, constraints. Application of constraints between components, defining of various input forces into the model, defining of contact conditions of two or more bodies. Hierarchy of the model. Defining of variables in the model. The measurement process, insertion of functions, process of simulation. Working in postprocessor and evaluation of the simulation results. Modelling of the contact between tire and road. Modelling of the axle types and optimization of the suspension. Basics of the ADAMS CAR program, basic introduction. Optimization of the wheel suspension depending on requirements of steering and suspension. Modelling of the driving tests of a road vehicle, in dependence on the change in the type of suspension. The final course test.
