How to deal with modeling three-wheeled vehicle in MSC.ADAMS?

[MateuszM]

Hello,
I need to perform an analisys of three wheled vehicle in ADAMS.
Something like this:

Using ADAMS tutorial I've created a template for rear suspension, and it works fine, that was the easy part.
But how to deal with front part? there is only one wheel so I have a problem putting it on the test rig.
Is it possible? Maybe I should use another module than ADAMS/Car? Maybe someone has a tutorial how to model a motorbike in this software? I'm completly new to ADAMS.
Here are my templates of rear and front suspension:

Thank you in advance.
Best Regards.
Mateusz

The quick answer is to contact MSC directly. You may need to switch products, to ADAMS/Motorcycle or /View. I know that BikeSim handles 3 wheelers.

Thank you for your answer, I've found a paper which describes a similar issue, so I think I'll be able to continue.

To simulate a three wheeler you have tu put zero input on default communicators and create new one for single wheel.

Full article.

Best Regards.

Thankyou @MateuszM, even i am facing the same problem. But from the paper i am not getting how to exactly put zero input on default communicators? Could you please help me with that.

You can describe the creation of the front suspension model in more detail (maybe it is in the templates).
