Ok guys, here's the thing:
I want to use springmult and dampermult to define susp rates and use just the pushrod angles, so that rF can use them for calculating wheel rates.
Now, from W_Bradshaw's description:
"
=0 means the wheel rates are adjusted for the geometry of the pushrod and the location of the lower end of the pushrod relative to the inner and outer mounts of the wishbones.
=1 means the wheel rates are adjusted only for the location the lower end of the pushrod relative to the inner and outer mounts of the wishbones.
Note that =1 does not remove all the geometric implications from the pushrod definition. Only removing the definitions of the pushrods themselves from the [CORNER] sections will do that."
It looks like none of the options will work with what I want to have.
That note to setting "1" is also confusing... rF use only location of the lower end of the pushrod.... but still, the whole pushrod geometry have some sort of influence (if I uderstand his description correctly).
What is important - I want to define susp rates by hand, in HDV.
If I understand correctly:
1. rFactor takes spring/damper mult (if they are 1.0, they won't have influence on calculations as 1.0^2 = 1.0 so they are neutral), takes geometry from pushrod and lower wishbone and calculate susp rates.
2. If [AdjustSuspRates=0] then it takes pushrod angles and calculate motion ratio.
What about pushrod angles, if AdjustSuspRates is set to "1"? rF assumes they are vertical or what?
