CG To Front¶

CG To Front Dialog Box

The vehicle's exterior dimensions are defined by its overall length and overall width. The user may choose to edit these dimensions using the Vehicle Dimensions dialogs; the CG to Front dialog box is one among them. The distance is displayed relative to the sprung-mass CG or the total-mass CG, according to the current Vehicle Dimensions Basis selected in the user options.

x Coord¶

Vehicle-fixed distance from the CG to the front of the vehicle.

Front Overhang¶

Distance from the front axle to the front of the vehicle. This value is read-only; it is calculated and displayed by the dialog based on the entered CG-to-front distance and the front axle location.

Overall Length¶

This value is read-only; it is calculated and displayed by the dialog from the entered CG-to-front distance and the CG-to-back distance.

Stiffness...¶

Displays the stiffness dialog for the front surface. In 3-D mode this is the Vehicle Exterior Stiffness dialog; otherwise it is the Stiffness Coefficients Dialog Box (A, B and Kv). This button is disabled for Fixed Barrier and Movable Barrier vehicle types.

Apply¶

Applies the entered dimension to the vehicle without closing the dialog. OK applies the value and closes the dialog; Cancel reverts the vehicle to its original dimensions and stiffness.
