Sprung Vehicle Mass

Total sprung vehicle mass.

Computed by:

SVCTMA

Input Variables Used:

■All part identifiers in ARRAY statements 9901, 9903, and 9905
■Percentage sprung values for each part, from ARRAY statements 9902, 9904, and 9906

Method:

SVC extracts the mass for each part listed in ARRAY statements 9901, 9903, and 9905 from the data-set and multiplies the mass by the corresponding percentage sprung value. The results of these calculations are summed to form the total sprung vehicle mass.
