Front Ground Reactions

Mass supported by front tires.

Computed by:

SVCGDR

Input Variables Used:

Front tire force MARKER statement identifiers (idwcfl, idwcfr) from ARRAY/9907
Global origin MARKER statement identifier (gblm) from ARRAY/9910

Method:

SVC uses the INFO utility subroutine to retrieve the force applied to the tire force marker by the global origin marker. SVC divides the global z component of this force by the gravitational acceleration along the global z-axis to convert it to mass units.
