Hip Point Rise

This request calculates Suspension Hip Point Rise and Total Hip Point Rise using geometric representation.

Input:

REQ/id, RESULT_NAME = hip_point_rise
, F2 = BAFWRG + (BAFWRG - BARWRG ) * ( HPRFA / Wheelbase )
, F3 = FWRB + ( RWRB – FWRB ) * ( HPRFA / Wheelbase )
where:
 
Description
BAFWRG
=
Vertical displacement of the body at the front wheel relative to the ground

Notes on Input and Output

Hip point is a Package Point related to Loading Subsystem and that the Hip Point Location for the Driver is giving the HPRFA measure. This metric is available when the Driver is in. This metric is used to quantify the vehicle attitude changes during braking or accelerating and hence the dive and/or lift of the driver is accounted.
Suspension Hip Point Rise - The vertical change in hip point location of a driver is geometrically linked by horizontal position to FWRB, RWRB and the H-point (HPRFA). It is determined by locating the longitudinal position of the H-point (HPRFA) of the driver relative to FWRB and RWRB.
Total Hip Point Rise - The vertical change in hip point location of a driver is geometrically linked by horizontal position to BAFWRG, BARWRG and the H-point (HPRFA). It is determined by locating the longitudinal position of the H-point (HPRFA) of the driver relative to BAFWRG and BARWRG.
