to see what is new in Version 3.6.

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.

Handling Ratings for finding the 'Transition Handling Rating', the amount for Front Lateral Load Distribution (FLLD, or the percent of the weight transfer which occurs in the front suspension) lets you analyze handling.

Detailed Suspension Analysis reports list many suspension and handling calculations.

Feature to automatically find a desired Front Lateral Load Distribution handling rating.

Roll Center Calculator Plus Features (Note: Roll Center Calculators are versions of Circle Track Analyzer with limited features
)
