New Item – Creates a new design item in the design tree.
Delete – Deletes the selected design item.
Add to Simulator – Adds the selected design item to the Simulator.
Input Window
The input window is where the suspension’s geometrical coordinates are entered. To assist the designer there are a number of different ways to view the input window.
Input Toolbar
Input Summary – Displays all the suspensions input values.
Component Inputs – Displays the input values of one particular suspension component.
Options Menu – Displays a menu where the user can Import or Export a suspension design, define the suspensions Input Units, alter the Reference Axis or change the color of the suspension components.

Display Window
The display Window displays a 3D graphical representation of the currently selected suspension design.
View Orientation Toolbar
Translate View - Scrolls the suspension geometry across the display window.
Rotate View - Rotates the suspension geometry view about a point.
Zoom - Dynamically changes the scale of the suspension geometry.
Zoom to Selected Area - Zooms into an area that is selected by dragging a bounding box.
Transparent View - Changes the opacity of the tires.
