This section provides an alternative to vertical_stiffness. If specified, the x and y data in this section define a smooth spline, representing the non-linear deflection/load characteristic of the tire. Arbitrarily, many x and y data of tire deflection (length) and radial load (force) can be specified, one or more in a line. Deflection values must be monotonously increasing. TeimOrbit compatible comment lines are allowed between the data lines.
