View source for Inverse of the Minimum Turning Radius

The inverse of the minimum turning radius is needed in the basic physical data for the configuration of a vehicle.

=Application=

The inverse of the minimum turning radius is entered under "[inv_min_turnradius]" in the respective .bus or .ovh-file of a vehicle.

=Calculation=

The inverse of the minimum turning radius is calculated as follows:

== Requirements==

*Wheelbase in m of the vehicle to be simulated
*Turning radius in m from the outer wheel to the outer wheel of the vehicle to be simulated
*Optional: Windows calculator in scientific view 

==Procedure==

# (2 * wheelbase) / turning radius = sin(maximum turning angle of the wheels on the steering axis in °) 
# tan(maximum turning angle of the wheels on the steering axis in °) / wheelbase
