Hello,

While seeing the different models available in the motionview library, is there any general ratios between the different parameters, let's say between wheelbase and ground clearance , etc. Any kind of thumb rule .

    hi Draucis, 

    The motorcycle models provided in library and example models can be considered as sample designs created by referring vehicles and technologies which are presently available. But these models works pretty well to represent the real vehicles in terms of weight distribution, suspension properties, geometrical specifications, powertrain type and its response and dynamic behavior, etc. You can use these models to modify in short time to convert in to your's required model. 

    Note: you can refer " Vittore_Cossalter_Motorcycle_Dynamics" for more info about specs ad technical information about motorcycle design and its dynamics topics.

     

    thanks,
