Description⚓︎
The parameters of wheel's suspension. The suspension attempts to reach a target position by applying a linear force and a damping force.
Extra Detail⚓︎
The value suspensionSpring.spring describes the stiffness of the spring. It is expressed in Newtons per metre. The spring strength has a profound influence on handling by modulating the time it takes for the vehicle to respond to bumps in the road and on the amount of load experienced by the tire. Larger values make the suspension reach the target position faster but at the cost of increased load and handling variability. Smaller values provide a smoother but less responsive ride.
