Hello all,

Platform: Windows XP
Software: ADAMS/Car MD R3 Build 2008.1.0

My university has just installed ADAMS/Car and I am following the Suspension Analysis Tutorial. I have sucessfully created the subsystem and assembly. I have also defined the vehicle parameters using the values given in the tutorial. However after performing a parallel wheel travel analysis as instructed in the tutorial I recieve the following error:

             Adams/Tire MD R3/abg_varext
             **** Error:
                     Unknown tire GFORCE/       1

             ---- ERROR ----
                abg_varext: Aborting Execution
                ID = 1

      Terminating Adams/Car usersubs...

  
      Adams/Solver execution terminated by subprogram ERRMES

My logic may be wrong but is the software trying to pull a tire GFORCE value from ADAMS/Tire? If so that software is not installed on our university computers.

I tried searching the kb, I read that for ADAMS/Car tire models are not needed to be defined like in ADAMS/View? I also tried using one of the tire models in the database instead of user defined and then the error stated that it could not locate the file.

Thanks for any help or input.
