Spindle Statistics

Computes kingpin inclination, kingpin rotation, and wheel center elevations for the left and right spindles
Input:
REQ/id, FUNCTION = USER (1107,lkm,lkrm,lwcm,rkm,rkrm,rwcm )
where:
 
 
Description
lkm
=
left kingpin MARKER id
lkrm
=
left kingpin reference MARKER id
lwcm
=
left wheel center MARKER id
rkm
=
right kingpin MARKER id
rkrm
=
right kingpin reference MARKER id
rwcm
=
right wheel center MARKER id
Request File Output:
Column Number Output:
1. Left kingpin intersection inclination (deg)
2. Left kingpin intersection rotation (deg)
3. Left wheel center elevation (mm)
4. Right kingpin intersection inclination (deg)
5. Right kingpin intersection rotation (deg)
6. Right wheel center elevation (mm)
Notes on Input and Output:
The kingpin MARKERs have a QP at the kingpin intersection and a ZP at the kingpin axis point (which is on the kingpin axis and above the kingpin intersection). The kingpin reference MARKERs must have the same location and orientation as the corresponding kingpin MARKERs. However, the kingpin reference MARKERs are on the body rather than on the spindles. The wheel center MARKERs are at the wheel centers and have their Z axes perpendicular to the plane of the tire and pointing out of the vehicle.
