Creating the Rear Differential
Before you can create the rear differential, you must create a hardpoint to locate the rear differential, and a construction frame with the z-axis along the differential rotating axis.
To create a hardpoint:
1. Create a hardpoint:
■Hardpoint Name: rear_diff_ref
■Type: single
■Location: 2520.0, 0.0, -200.0
2. Select OK.
To create a construction frame:
1. Create a construction frame:
■Construction Frame: rear_diff_ref
■Type: single
■Location Dependency: Delta location from coordinate
■Coordinate Reference: hps_rear_diff_ref
■Location: 0, 0, 0
■Location in: local
■Orientation Dependency: User entered values
■Euler Angles: 0, 90, 0
2. Select OK.
To create the differential:
1. From the Driveline Components menu, point to COMPLEX COMPONENTS, and then select Entire Differential Unit.
2. Create the differential:
■Differential Center Reference: cfs_rear_diff_ref
■Differential Name (suffix): rear
■Side Gear Radius: 40
■Pinion Gear Radius: 30
■Ring Gear Outer Radius: 120
■Ring Gear Inner Radius: 60
■Ring Gear Offset: 50
■Ring Gear Geometry: Hypoid
■Mass: 10
■Ixx: 1e4
■Iyy: 1e4
■Izz: 1e4
3. Select OK.
