If the suspension rate and wheel load is not within the error tolerance specified, the spring rate (K) and the free length (L) of the coil spring (SPRINGDAMPER) is adjusted till the desired suspension rate and wheel load constraints are satisfied. Limitation: Currently only linear springs can be adjusted. |
