A New Type ADAMS-Based Virtual Prototype of Folding-Arm Gondola

This paper has introduced the method how to establish a model for the virtual prototype of new type folding-arm gondola CD 250 based on the ADAMS technology, then to do analyses and inspection for the built virtual prototype, and to combine the test results with the traditional DOF calculation to sum up the feasible calculation method for DOF, finally, further verify the rationality of the model, which provides the necessary foundation for subsequently utilizing the virtual prototype technology to analyze the working condition of the gondola.
