File Information
Description

This model is a quarter-car five link suspension. The model may be used to understand suspension kinematics (toe, caster, camber, later and longitudinal recession), as well as suspension dynamics (understand load paths when driving over bumpy roads). The model was built in SimMechanics™, and uses Simulink® 3D Animation™ to animate the simulation.

Required Products SimMechanics
Simulink
Simulink 3D Animation
MATLAB release MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1)

hello
very kind work
Can tell as you did it?
Maybe do you have methodology?
I am also interested in similar subjects.

Hi Olexander, You can find more examples like this in Simulink. The example model sldemo_suspn.mdl may help. Also, the example powerwindow03.mdl has a good mechanical visualization.
