Camber and Toe Angles With Respect to Body Frame

Computes the camber and toe angles with respect to body frame at either front or rear wheels. This REQUEST duplicates the TUV measurement used in objective handling measurements.
Input:
REQ/id, FUNCTION = USER (1122,lwcm,rwcm,brm )
where:
 
 
Description
lwcm
=
left wheel center MARKER id
rwcm
=
right wheel center MARKER id
brm
=
body reference MARKER id
Request File Output
Column Number Output:
1. Averaged camber angle w.r.t. body (deg)
2. Left camber w.r.t. body (deg)
3. Right camber w.r.t. body (deg)
4. Averaged toe angle w.r.t. body (deg)
5. Left toe angle w.r.t. body (deg)
6. Right toe angle w.r.t. body (deg)
Notes on Input and Output
The Z axis of the wheel center MARKER must be in the wheel plane pointed vertically, the Y axis of the wheel center marker must point to the right. The body reference MARKER is on the body and has the same initial orientation as the global reference frame. The sign convention is:
Positive toe angle = Toe in
Positive camber angle = Top of tire out
