SUSPENSION SOFTWARE

 


SUSPENSION 2.0

SUSPENSION is a software by Soft-Engine for  cinematic and static computation of rear suspensions for motorcycles of the following types:

traditional fixed-arm shock absorber (single or double)

pro-link and its subsequent products

The program runs on Windows,  data are entered through drawings. Drawings represent the suspension geometry to be analysed. Suspension measurements can be entered  directly onto the drawing. The program can build the layout in proportional scale and allows you to perform animations. You can add various kinds of springs, with different rates. There is a directory for layout, spring, and for layout assembly + spring. The values calculated by this program as a function of the travel wheel are as follows:

  • fork angle

  • shock absorber length

  • spring compression

  • spring compression / travel wheel (1 mm variation)

  • compression progressive-rate

  • spring load

  • rear fork torque

  • rear wheel load

Graphic comparisons up to 5 different solutions available. There are charts, printing utilities, and a guide. The main advantage you can get from this program is the possibility of knowing and comparing  the spring deflection behaviour to the travel wheel. The most clear-cut value obtained by the program is the progressive-rate of deflection. The last one supplies the suspension progressive-rate (or regressive-rate) compared to  linear fixed-arm suspension.

 

More:

  • 5 more suspension types, that is those ones already existing in the production of road and racing motorcycles

  • plus degrees of freedom with each type

  • shock absorber

  • limit bumper

  • related directories

We also have additional values :

  • load progressive-rate, meaning the  progressive-rate referring to  rear wheel load

  • bumper load

  • assembled shock absorber load

Compared to  version 1.0 you can calculate compression progressive-rate due to the compound lever and the one due to the load (compound lever + spring + bumper) either separately or together. In addition, the graphic interface is better defined.
