Hi,

You will find that all of the existing suspensions are derived from ChSuspension so yes, you can take that as a base class and create your own. The good news is that there are many examples you can study as a starting point.

The other alternative you have is to build your own suspension based on the "Generic Wheeled Suspension". Admittedly, that is not currently documented extensively, but this is a type of suspension that allows you to "build your own" using existing building blocks. It is based on the JSON templates that are available for all of these suspensions [1]. There are a few examples to get you started. The UAZ has a FrontSAELeafspringAxle suspension that is both available as a SAEToeBarLeafspringAxle based template [2] and a replica of that as a GenericWheeledSuspension [3]. This one is quite complex. Another example is for the HMMWV [4].

Greetings, Marcel

My current requirement is to create several different types of suspensions. The suspensions available in the vehicle library don't quite meet my needs. I'd like to create my own suspensions. Could you please advise if this is feasible? If it is, how can I use the ChSuspension base class to create the suspensions I need? I'm using a translation software, so there might be some grammar issues.  Sorry
