Center-of-Gravity Height of Suspension Unsprung Mass

Center-of-gravity height of the front or rear suspension unsprung mass. This is only computed for full vehicle analysis.

Computed by:

SVCCGH

Input Variables Used:

All part identifiers in ARRAY statements 9901 and 9903.
Percentage sprung values for each part from ARRAY statements 9902 and 9904.

Method:

The mass properties and CM marker identifiers of the parts listed in ARRAY statements 9901 and 9903 are extracted from the data set. The mass properties are multiplied by 100 percent minus the corresponding percentage sprung values and used with displacements from the INFO utility subroutine to compute the unsprung center of gravity.
