FSAE Rear Rockers

Hi @IsaiahDuckworth,

If you require a suspension system that is not available from the Assembly Wizard, you can always create a custom setup using the intuitive MotionView interface. Simply assemble your vehicle with the system that closest resembles your ideal vehicle configuration, then modify the entities as needed.

If you haven't already, please make sure to check out this Discussion regarding the FSAE vehicle library and to complete the relevant eLearning courses about Getting Started with MotionView as well as Vehicle Modeling with MotionSolve.

Hope this helps!

Hi @IsaiahDuckworth,

Following up on @GTT Adam 's post. You will need to export the front rocker suspension and import it for the rear. I would update the .mdl so that any attachments that refer to the rear suspension are updated automatically. Once that is done, you can import the model as a rear suspension.

Attaching a quick video using the FSAE library.
