Steer Table Inputs for Vehicle 2

The control inputs for  vehicle steering for Vehicle No. 2 are entered as time history tables of steer as a function of time on card(s) 11.

The first card for each steer input table is the table header card which describes the size and format for the input steer tables to follow.

End time for Steer inputs for Vehicle 2.

TINCP2

Time increment for Steer inputs, Vehicle 2. One value for Steer is input for each increment, so the size of TINCQ determines the detail with which steering can be described by the mathematical model.

NOTE: If field 6 (VARINC, Variable Increment input Option) is set=1, then the definition of this variable is for the number of table inputs.

If < 0.0, the program will read in and ignore the steer tables included following card #11 (This option is to permit de-activating tables without having to delete the data in the tables)

(default) If=0.0, table is assumed a fixed increment table

(optional) If =1.0, flag to indicate Variable time increment inputs. Field 4 is then used to indicate the number of table inputs.

(optional) If=2.0, flag to indicate Variable time increment inputs AND the 1^st two entries in the table are for pre-impact and post-impact. The 1^st value is applied until impact is detected and then the value is changed to the 2^nd value over the time difference between the two entries.

The Table Header card is followed by tables containing the values for the Steer for Vehicle #2: RF, LF, RR &  LR tires (and RRR & LRR for trailer option), one set of values per card and up to 50 table values.

Steer table inputs are exactly like torque table inputs except that values represent tire angle, in degrees (left turn is negative, right is positive, straight ahead is 0.0 degrees).

The format for the tables is as follows:
