Static Ride Analysis
The Static Ride analysis is a simulation of both wheels moving up and down, in phase, with the steering wheel held
fixed. The chassis is fixed-to-ground. The displacement of the wheel center is prescribed by the user. The suspension
moves via a simple control system and a “suspension test rig”. The wheel is constrained at the tire patch location
to the suspension test rig using an in-plane joint. Standard suspension requests (caster, camber, toe, etc.)
are included as part of the ride analysis and are described here. The front and rear suspension ride analyses are
similar.
