Body Ride Height
This feature allows you to set desired ride height before subsequent half vehicle analysis.
The suspension testrig (__MDI_SUSPENSION_TESTRIG) includes body part (ges_body) constrained to ground with adjustable force (afs_body_ride_height_adjuster). Body part (ges_body) moves up or down during the initial static equilibrium phase, prior to the desired suspension analysis
User can set desired ride height using Vehicle Set-Up dialog box by selecting Active check box in the Ride Height tab
When you activate Ride Height adjustment, you specify the target ride height relative to the design position. The target ride height is achieved during static equilibrium. In subsequent transient or quasi-static, or static analyses of that event, the ride height remains fixed.
