Sometimes for suspensions,for which the alignment setting values are already available, the user would prefer to set the toe, cater camber to these predermined values instead of realigning the suspensions. But larger constant displacement values applied to the alignment adjuster would sometimes result in static failure. In order to avoid such failures, a consub was written. This consub would step down the alignment displacements to smaller values and perform static analysis. If the analysis was successful, the alignment values will be stepped up and the static analysis will be performed again until the aligment values are equal to the user specifications.
Following command specifies the parameters needed to invoke this consub
CONTROL/FUN=USER (1141,jrp_ary,aryid, fac1,fac2)
where:
jrp_ary | = | Id of array containing the necessary jprims, motions, sforce ids to perform the static equilibrium |
| | |
aryid | = | Array containing the predetermined toe, caster, camber values of left and right suspension in degrees |
| | |
fac1 | = | (Optional) (dafault = 2) Factor by which the alignment values should be stepped down. If the static analysis is successful for the stepped down values, the values will be stepped up by the same factor for the next static anlysis |
| | |
fac2 | = | (Optional) (default = 3) Number of times the alignment values should be stepped down. The total number of times alignment values will be stepped down is equal to fac1 * fac2 |
