Suspension Geometry - Special Analysis
The Premier / Data version of the program also has special analytical features. The graphic below shows Ackerman Analysis. The small display on the top right shows Netsteer. The middle graphic shows Ackerman values calculated as both the instant center of perpendiculars from the tires as well as an instant center from the steering links. The bottom graphic shows how the loads are calculated through the suspension links.
The results of the Ackerman Analysis can also be shown in table form:
