XCP10 |
X’c10 |
The X' coordinate of the center of gravity of vehicle 1, (V1). The smaller vehicle or the bullet vehicle should be entered as V1. Collision forces are calculated in a clockwise sweep of V1. The force calculations are less accurate in the vicinity of a narrow intrusion; therefore, accuracy is improved when V1 is the smaller vehicle. A fixed Cartesian coordinate system is used, with the positive X' axis shown pointing upward, and the positive Y' axis to the right. Angles are measured clockwise from the positive X' axis. |

Trailer option indicator. Set = 1.0 for trailer on veh#1; = 0 if no trailer. Note: a m-smac run with only 1 vehicle exercising the Trailer option must be with vehicle#1. Please note that m-smac input cards 20 & 22 are required for a trailer on vehicle #1. See additional information on Trailer Option and input requirements for Trailer Option |
