Roll Center Calculator v2.0 for Windows 95/98/Me/XP/2000/NT

Computer Program to Simulate and Analyze Front Suspension (Double A Arm or McPherson Strut) for Camber Gain, Roll Center, Wheel Rate and More.

 

Overview:

The Roll Center Calculator lets you input, view, save, analyze and compare either Double A Frame or McPherson Strut front suspension geometry. The options for entering your geometry specs include: enter X & Y coordinates (distance and height from the car’s center-line at the ground), enter some X & Y coordinates and angles & lengths of arms, or retrieving one of the examples which comes with the program.

Once entered, the program will display calculated parameters like Instant Centers, Roll Center, King Pin Angle, Wheel Rate, Scrub Radius, and Camber Gain (the amount Camber will change for a certain amount of Dive and/or Roll). Then click on Yes for Show Dive & Roll and adjust Dive and/or Roll and watch Roll Center and Instant Centers move, camber change, and spring deflection. Spring deflection is useful to reproduce track conditions shown by your shock indicators.

bullet

Adjusting the starting point, ending point, number of points, and whether Dive or Roll will be displayed in Rows or Columns.

bullet

Selecting whether the Baseline conditions in the Camber Table are simply the previous Camber Table results, or whether they are some specific condition you have saved.
