Step 2

Once the vehicles are loaded, their geometry values can be reviewed and modified in the Vehicle Geometry dialog box. ABS braking can be specified for vehicles so equipped.

Red Box: Here, a C.G. height of 19.69" (0.5m) has been specified. If a C.G. height of 0 is used, the vehicles behave as 2D models.

Various other vehicle parameters (suspension properties, occupant and cargo loading, front-rear brake distribution, etc.) can also be specified in the Vehicle Data group of dialog boxes.

Trailers can be loaded and attached to a vehicle. Multiple trailers can be attached to simulate
B-trains, triples, etc. Hitch friction and angle- dependent torque can be applied.
