    I posted elsewhere in the forum and got no reply.

    Can someone give me a clue? I have been unable to find an answer in the hdv file.

    I want to be able to position the axles to calculate the leverage of wings and diffuser to analyze aero data of cars.

    Thanks.

    It is rather complex, how things move and what overwrites what, you may have some luck looking at the PM file. IIRC it is the wheel mesh that moves to the PM loc, and then is adjusted with HDV if necessary. The CG is defined in the HDV front to rear, and then up from reference plane (HDV), then altered by setup (weight bias and ride height).

    Thanks a lot for your answer, I'll have a look to the PM files if they are not included in an encrypted mas. (not before end of September).
