Performing an Analysis on the Modified Assembly
To determine how the modifications to the suspension subsystem changed the pull on the steering wheel, you perform a pull analysis on the modified suspension and steering assembly. You can use the same loadcase file that you created in Defining a Loadcase File.
To perform the analysis:
1. From the Simulate menu, point to Suspension Analysis, and then select External Files.
The dialog box displays the appropriate loadcase file.
2. In the Output Prefix text box, enter modified.
3. Select the Comment tool.
4. In the Comment Text text box, enter Steering axis moved 25mm outboard.
5. Select OK.
6. Select OK again.
