Vertical force (Fz) analysis in Adams Car

Hi everyone,

I am new using Adams Car and I have one question I would like to solve. Recently I have designed a front suspension system and made the assembly. Then, I simulated a static trial (parallel wheel travel), defining also the bound and rebound travel of the wheel. Once I have simulated that, in the postprocess window I have the chance to view parameters such as camber angle, toe, caster, etc. The problem comes when I try to analyse the vertical force of the tire in the contact patch. Anyone knows where to find that menu to plot that results? Can it be done in Adams Car or is it necessary to swap to other kind of Adams?

Thank you for the attention,

This is all in Adams Car. In the postprocessor, on the "requests" tab, there is a menu: "testrig" and in it, select the line "wheel_load_vertical_force". This should be the desired vertical force.
