Steering geometry 4-wheel vehicle
Steering geometry 4-wheel vehicle
(OP)
I am working on a development project of a disbled 4 wheel scooter. The vehicle will only steer with both front wheels. Maximum speed is 15 km/h. My idea is to apply ackerman steering with KPI and Caster. What is a good value (3D) suspension program to determine the complete geometry?
Thanks!

You may want to model both steering LOADS and returnability from full lock, in which case you'll need a full vehicle model.

I don't know what you mean with 'steering loads' and 'full lock'. Could you explain these shortly?
Thanks.
