Dual-Path Strut Mount
Strut property files contain a Design option for dual-path mount modeling.When this option is activated 2 bushings are used to connect the strut to the frame. The 1st bushing acts between the upper strut and the frame at the strut mount location. The 2nd bushing acts between an intermediate part and the frame.
Two intermediate parts are added for the purpose of modeling a torsional spring damper between the coil spring mount and frame.
