Ram,

 

toe angle is angle made by the wheels when looking from the top view, which is AZ.

 

So you have to create an output expression to output rotational displacement (AZ) of the wheel.

 

Please refer to help for more information about the function AZ.

Ram,

 

I did not find any tutorial to define Toe angle so far.

 

Follow the below steps:

 

1) Create Two markers. one attached to wheel and the other attached to ground body

2) Go to Output panel and create a Function for AZ

3) AZ ({IDstring of marker of wheel}, {IDstring of marker of ground})

Dear Sir,

 

I have created the markers and AZ function as per your instructions but the graph plot is like this

 

I have created the markers with same axis and plane,is it correct or not?

 

 

Thanks
