SusProg3D provides for the design, evaluation and visualization of:
- Double A-arm (unequal length, non parallel wishbone)·
- Macpherson strut·
- with A-arm and single pivot
- with two lateral links and dual pivots
- TriLink strut suspension
- Trailing arm suspension
- semi-trailing arm
- trailing arm with upper and lower lateral links
- Multi link suspension·
- lower A-arm, 2 upper links (virtual A-arm), toe link·
- lower A-arm, 2 upper lateral links, trailing link·
- upper A-arm, 2 lower links (virtual A-arm), toe link
- upper A-arm, 2 lower links, trailing link
- upper and lower lateral link, upper and lower trailing link, toe control link upper and lower “virtual A-arms”, toe control link
- single top link, reversed lower A-arm, upper and lower trailing links
- single top link, parallel lower links, upper and lower trailing links
- Compound link suspensions (Porsche 928, Jaguar and Ford Thunderbird)
- Live rear axle
- 3 or 4 trailing links with Watts linkage or Panhard rod
- twin trailing arms with Watts linkage or Panhard rod (NASCAR style)
- 4 trailing links
- de Dion rear axle
- 3 or 4 trailing links with Watts linkage or Panhard rod
- twin trailing arms with Watts linkage (Alfetta style) or Panhard rod
- 4 trailing links
- Mumford linkage as an option for 3 and 4 link live axles.
- Automatic generation of roll centre and swing axle lengths.
- Automatic generation of chassis pivot points.
- Camber adjustment location on top, bottom or both links.
- Store and recall suspension design data. Display of camber, roll centre, castor and wheel scrub in roll and bump.
- A choice of shock absorber actuation styles for wishbone suspensions:
- conventional outboard mounting
- inboard mounting with rocking top arm
- pushrod
- pullrod pushrod and floating shockabsorber
- Display of wheel rates at various stages in suspension travel
- Generation of spring design parameters
- Anti-roll bar rate calculations
- Dynamic chassis roll angle and weight transfer calculations
- Automatic generation of steering rack position to minimise bump steer
- Display of bump steer and toe-out in turn characteristics
- Driveshaft plungeWeight distribution
- Automatic checking of a range of design parameters to find the "best" solution.
- SusProg3D Designer supports full 3D specification of all points.
- Wishbone pivot axes may be tapered in both plan view and for anti-dive/anti-squat in side view, and for any chassis location point for suspension spring units.
- User specified chassis datums.
- User specified axis naming and orientation.
- Camber and castor adjustment on specified wishbone links.
