The most significant update to the Suspension Geometry Calculator since it was launched will see a new HTML5 UI and the ability to model the full suspension setup including the chassis, control arms, uprights and wheels. Some of the features will only be available to registered users so if you’re not already registered please follow this link so you’re ready to get the most out of the calculator as soon as it is released. Suspension Geometry Calculator V2 is due to be released on July 22nd 2013. Register now to receive a notification as soon as it is released and/or like the facebook page.

Roll Center and Instant Center

The benefits of modeling the entire suspension setup is we can now track and report on the instant centers and roll center. These are very important variables within suspension design and the inclusion of these values I hope will be of great benefit to you. Note: you have to register to access these values

Comprehensive Editor

A comprehensive set of variables are displayed when editing the suspension layout to help you optimize your setup. These values are displayed within the calculator so no more scrolling between the drawing and the specs.

Form Input

Yes, you can use drag and drop to set-up your suspension but sometimes it can be difficult to precisely set the camber or the length of the control arms. Now you can also enter specific values using the form input tool. Note: you have to register to access the form input

Zooming and Panning

Sometimes you’re dealing with RC cars and sometimes you’re analyzing the layout of a truck. To deal with these use cases zooming and panning functions have been added. It’s also useful when you want to highlight and or work on one side of the vehicle. You can even use your mouse wheel or pinch to zoom when using a tablet.

Backwards Compatability

The new calculator will still be able to read the codes generated by the existing suspension geometry calculator so please continue to use it safe in the knowledge that your calculations will not be lost.
