Suspension Analysis Software

[Diamond Level Motorsports]

Can someone recommend a reasonably priced suspension software for double wishbone suspension front and rear with push rods and rockers?

I've dabbled a bit with a few of the packages. If you want the push-rod/pull-rod analysis I think yo can find it under $500 USD. Performance Trends does that in their full up system.
SusPro may still have a demo package available. Others like Lotus Analyzer, etc get over $1500 pretty quick as I recall.

There are some free roll center calculators out there, and SpeedWiz is always adding features too and now on your phone.

Here is a very dated review from 2001; irsforum.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=263

William C. Mitchell, the developer of the Racing By The Numbers programs passed away at his home in North Carolina on January 17, 2014. At this point it looks like the software may never be available or supported.

If you do not have a copy you are SOL

I have used Bill Mitchell's software for decades. I can reproduce his software in SolidWorks but Bills package takes a lot less time. I actually use Mitchell software along with AutoCAD to model the suspension system I want to analyze.

I think I got my first version of Bills software on a 5.5 floppy disk.

I thought that Ferguson was trying to get the rights to Bill's software from his estate.

For the "real" Auto-Ware.com, include the hyphen -- else you'll spend your time translating Italian (?) for robotics...
Auto-ware is still inexpensive - but only gets you to 4 links - not dual wishbones.
