    A/Car - Modify suspension starting position

    Hi all, I am reverse engineering a suspension system, but I am finding some issues during the simulations, and I think it's because of the way I have measured the hardpoints originally. I have scanned the arms with the car lifted which means the suspension model represents the fully extended...

    How to measure forces at specific joints in A/Car

    Hi everyone, I want to know what are the forces at different joints of my suspension system. Check how design changes affect these forces etc. However, I can't find any parameter that looks like that in my postprocessor. I'm sure it's fairly easy, but I just can't find how to do it. Any...

    Best CAD software alternative for a CATIA user

    Hello, I have been working with Catia for +10 years with heavy use of surface modelling. I am trying to set up a personal business and I'm trying to find an affordable alternative. I've looked into SolidWorks and it's OK but when modelling surfaces it basically works in the exact same way as...

    Material considerations for suspension elements

    Hello everyone, I have recently started a project to redesign the suspension elements of an existing road car and I need some advice from people more experienced in suspension parts. The goal of the project is not to re-design the whole suspension scheme and geometry, but only the individual...

    Loose control on total width but tight control on edge quality

    Hi all, I have this rectangular part which I want to tightly control both edges profiles, but I want to give my supplier some freedome to produce longer or shorter parts (as long as the edge itself looks good). It's almost like we want to create two different areas for each edge. One large...

    Practical guidelines for suspension design for beginners

    Hi all, I am a mechanical engineering currently working on Interior Trim parts for a living. However I've always wanted to learn about vehicle dynamics and suspension design with the idea of making my own kit car (or at least try to do so). So I've read a few books about the topic (the famous...
