Points
The point outputs are the instantaneous X, Y and Z coordinates of all the suspension points that were Inputted to design the suspension. These coordinates use the output reference system defined in the Simulator Preferences. The units are the user defined Output Units which can be millimeters, inches, degrees or radians.
Chassis
These are the points that are fixed to the Chassis. This includes A-Arm, Wishbone and Strut mounting points as well as Spring and Damper chassis attachment points
Upright/Spindle
These are the points that are fixed to the Upright or Spindle. This includes outboard A-Arm, Wishbone and Strut mounting points as well as the Tie-Rod Upright attachment point
Axle
These are the points that are fixed to the Axle on the rear suspension types with a live axle. This includes Arm, Watts Linkage and Track Bar attachment points.
Wheel
These are the points that are fixed to the Wheel. This includes the Tire contact Patch, as well as the inner and outer wheel axis points.
Steering
These are the points that are fixed to the Steering System. This includes the inboard Tie-Rod points as well as the points of the linkages used in Recirculating-Ball Steering.
Non-Suspended Mass
These are the points that are fixed to the Non-Suspended Mass but are not fixed to the Wheel, Upright or Rocker. This includes Push/Pull Rod, Spring and Damper suspension attachment points.
Rocker
These are the points that are fixed to the Rocker. This includes the Rocker Pivot and Axis points as well as CoilOver and Drop Link Rocker attachment points.
Anti-Roll Bar/Sway Bar
These are the points that are fixed to the Anti-Roll Bar. This includes Anti-Roll Bar chassis Pivot and Axis points as well as Drop Link Attachment points.
Points Referenced from Upright Origin
The Points Referenced from Upright Origin outputs display the X, Y and Z coordinates of all the points that are located on the wheel and upright relative to the Upright Origin.
