Steering wheel force/torque values will be zero in function-expression references
Steering wheel force/torque values will be zero in function-expression references
(OP)
Hi,
I am currently working on a full vehicle analysis. Kinematics and compliance simulation works fine (steering turns as it should). But when i run any of the dynamic events i ge t the same error:

I have tried to use diffrent solvers, but with no success. With GSTIFF Solver I got the vehicle to move a little bit in acceleration event, but then it suddenly turned and event stooped. I do not know where the source of the problem is coming from.
Please help!

The run fails to start because the new config with the real rack is not in equilibrium. I gather you are using /Car. So, your approach is either start from a model that will complete the event in question, and substitute subs until it breaks, or try and brute force the static equilibrium. To do this you need to change Solver settings. Typically this involves changing MAXIT, error and various other settings, rather at random I am afraid. Unfortunately /Car seems to have been written to appeal to managers and salespeople and not engineers and debugging the models is not easy. You may find that switching debug/eprint on is sufficient to get the model to run, showing how poorly stable the whole pile of code is. debug/eprint may also give you better clues as to what is going wrong, but usually doesn't.
