• ClosestPoint - outputs the closest point located on the ground surface to the sensor
• ClosestPointInPlane - outputs a point located on the ground surface at the point of
intersection of a plane and ground
• IntersectionAlongLine - outputs a point located on the ground surface at the point of
intersection of a line and ground
Existing ground sensors that were previously located in Chassis.Sensors have been moved
to Ground.Sensors. This includes the following sensors:
• FrameInPlaneThreePoints
• FrameOnGround
• GroundCurvature
• GroundHeight
• VelocityOfGround
Ride Height Dependent Aerodynamics Models
Four new aerodynamics models have been added that are dependent on front/rear ride
heights. The different models demonstrate how to represent lift/drag/side aerodynamic
forces using either a polynomial or tabular data:
• PitchPolynomialLD
• PitchPolynomialLDS
• PitchTabularLD
• PitchTabularLDS
Some models will automatically be converted from version 1.9 to version 2.0 when loaded.
