Once I have summed up the forces from each of the wheels I then calculate and subtract the overall drag before calculating the acceleration of the vehicle as a whole. I think I need to calculate a drag value for each of the wheels though.
That last line of calculations was supposed to read...
Thanks for your quick reply Gear.0
You're right, I should be using torque instead of force. Now my integration looks like this for each wheel:
driveForce = engineTorqueOnWheel / wheelRadius
totalForce = driveforce - rollingResistence
totalTorque = totalForce * wheelRadius...
Hi
I am hoping somebody can help me as I'm going round in circles trying to develop a driving simulator for my games programming dissertation.
I am modeling a car which is rear-wheel driven. Each wheel is modeled individually and determines the force it applies to the chassis.
I use the...
