BTW have you checked out RAVEN yet?

From what I remember Toyota created a device that was attached to an intake part, that when not bolted onto the engine unfolded, probably some linkage mechanism. But when off the car looking at it youd think nothing off it. When this device opened up it moved the valve that regulated boost. No...

Figured out the CG problem, I think. Just figured out an estimate for the roll angle desired, then applied the lateral forces at the contact patch. Gotta be an easier way. Anywho, the effect was noticable. Have you seen a way to roll, dive, and steer at the same time. BTW I'm in love with the...

Yeh, but I'd also like to control the magnitude of the force at the CG in order to get to a particular point in roll, or pitch for that matter

Only able to add a external force to the wheel it seems.....

Graphics->Screen Display->Static Only Still trying to figure out how to add a force(to the cg perferrably) and see the result.

Have you seen a way to add assymetries? Maybe able to do it in the templates, but that seems to be for 1 side only

Sorry, alittle off topic, but the McLaren F1 read talks about subframes and bushing used for long. compliance, has anyone ever seen a pic of this, ive been searching for months with no luck

did you have the rim with an offset far outside the wheel center? How well did the design work?

I would think it to be very hard to get zero kpi AND zero scrub on any front suspension, but it sounds like a good guideline.

Greg, can you draw a free body diagram comparing a grc and fbrc, in roll would be perfect.

I'm still lost to what the difference is, never seen anything concrete about a force based roll center. This report comparing the 2, is it open to the public? And another thing have you ever seen anything written about what the driver feels in roll? And the car with the different rears, did...

Yeh Greg, what the deal. Force based roll centers over geometric roll centers right. Still waiting for a better description of such, better yet you working one out for everyone to enjoy. Def not being a smart ass here, just wanna know some things. Good day mate

I had a car stolen a few years back and had some 'shoes' on it. Police found the car and it was on cement blocks. Low on cash I headed over to a local junk yard. Searched and searched and searched until we could find a set of wheels that used my bolt pattern. Oddly enough one was found off an...

2d or 3d. 2d is easy, intersection of lines. 3d your dealing with planes more, but yeh 2d or 3d. Also what type of suspension and what are the given inputs, be happy to work this out over the bb
