Static Toe angle changing with toelink position

Altair Forum User

Hello, I am using a template of the Formula SAE cars. And I am performing some analysis on the suspension. And I am having problems with the model. 

I am performing a kinematic analysis of the rear suspension. And when I change the outer toelink hardpoint (mainly the y coordinate) the static toe angle is also changing. And with the static wheel aligment toe set to zero the toe angle with no wheel displacement is not zero. 

 

I am not having the same issue in the front suspension template. Only on the rear.

 

The image is just to show what hardpoint I am talking about.

Hi,

Toe link length does affect the toe angle. 

 

Is it possible to record a small video on what you are doing w.r.t toe linkage and share the same to recreate the same at our end?
