Vehicle submodules

Review reusable setup submodules used by vehicle assemblies in 4ACE SIM.

Submodules are reusable setup blocks selected by vehicles. Create them from Design, then attach them to vehicles from Vehicles > Vehicle Assembly.

Submodule reference

Aerodynamics

Drag, lift, ride-height dependency, speed dependency, and yaw dependency.

Body

Sprung mass, inertia, wheelbase, and ground clearance points.

Brakes

Brake distribution, hydraulic sizing, caliper geometry, and pad friction.

Drivetrain

Engine, gearbox, drive split, efficiency, and differential settings.

Steering

Rack travel, steer angle behavior, and camber change from steering.

Suspension

Springs, dampers, bars, stops, kinematics, compliance, setup, and unsprung mass.

Tires

Tire structure, longitudinal grip, lateral grip, and camber dependency.

Common workflow

  1. Open the relevant Design page.
  2. Select New.
  3. Enter name, notes, and tags.
  4. Open the created row.
  5. Edit parameter values in the module detail table.
  6. Save with Update Data.
  7. Select the module in a vehicle assembly.

Set up a vehicle

Create a 4ACE vehicle by selecting required setup submodules for simulation work.

Aerodynamics submodule

Use aerodynamic parameters to model drag, lift, ride-height dependency, speed dependency, and yaw dependency for a vehicle setup.
