Suspension Measurement (SPMM) Setup

This routine updates the markers used for modeling the SPMM (Suspension Measurement) machine. It modifies the roll axis to be at ground height, sets the tire contact patch force position and the markers associated with the graphics of the machine.
The CONSUB can be invoked during the SPMM event by typing the following at the Adams prompt or in the acf file:
CONTROL/FUN=USER (1149,lfwc,rfwc,lrwc,rrwc,bodycm,origo)
where:
 
lfwc
=
Left Front Wheel Center Marker
rfwc
=
Right Front Wheel Center Marker
lrwc
=
Left Rear Wheel Center Marker
rrwc
=
Right Rear Wheel Center Marker
bodycm
=
Center of Mass Marker of the Body
origo
=
Marker defining the coordinate system in which model was created (Standard Adams Car models have vehicle forward as -X). Default marker id is 3
