suspension analysing software

[Graham]

has anyone come up with software to allow you to play around with rear suspension settings to see how it effects things i.e. anti squat.. if found a couple of packages but none seem to cater for my double wishbone rear suspension setup.


my top wishbones are "A" pattern with 2 rose joints at the chassis end and a single rose joint into the top of the uprights. the rose joint can be offset from the hub centre line. the rose joints are all in the same vertical plane and screw in and out plus can be move left and right on the mountings with spacers

the bottom wishbone has 2 joints at chassis end and 2 at bottom of the upright. both chassis end joints are in the horizontal plane and can be varied up and down with spacers.

the wishbone end has one vertical and one horizontal, and again will obviously screw in and out and have spacers......


AS you can see there is a lot of adjustment, together with different top wishbones to move upright centre to allow anti squat when bottom wishbone is adjusted on spacers. top wishbone also has multiple mounting holes.

Unsurprisingly its taking a little while to get my head around all the possbilities..

Is this an engineering simulator?
If so, there were 2 simulators about from someone ages ago, one that would simulate an engine, and the other would do the chassis.

Unfortunately they were hugely expensive.
