Damper Mounting Position

Vishrut Viradia

We use the motion view for the simulation of our car. We use shot long arm type suspension in the front and trailing arm suspension in the rear. In the past models we used to mount the front damper on the lower arm(Long arm). But for this year we decided to mount the front damper on the upper arm(short arm). The provided model in motion view has damper in the lower arm. Is there any way in which we can mount the damper on the upper arm in motion view?

Yes, you can adapt the damper attachment to use any body.  The correct way to modify this is to change the attaching body using the 'Attachments' tab in the System Definition for the shocks.

 

Select the yellow 'body/pair' collector for the attachment you want to change, and you can either select the upper arm in the gui, or you can double click the collector, and use the browser that pops up to pick the upper arm.
