CG To Left¶

CG To Left Side 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 Left dialog box is one among them.

y Coord¶

Vehicle-fixed distance from the CG to the left side of the vehicle.

Overall Width¶

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

Copy to Other Side¶

When checked, the entered distance (and stiffness) is also applied to the right side of the vehicle, keeping the vehicle symmetric. In HVE-2D this option is always checked and cannot be changed.

Stiffness...¶

Displays the stiffness dialog for the left 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.
