Sticky? Pacejka explained

[protomor]

If you dont have the pacejka editor or just want to edit small bits by hand, here is the explanation of each setting.

Shape factor ........................................... A0
Load infl. on lat. friction coeff (*1000)... (1/kN) .... A1
Lateral friction coefficient at load = 0 (*1000) ....... A2
Maximum stiffness ........................ (N/deg) ..... A3
Load at maximum stiffness ................ (kN) ........ A4
Camber infiuence on stiffness ............ (%/deg/100) . A5
Curvature change with load ............................. A6
Curvature at load = 0 .................................. A7
Horizontal shift because of camber ........(deg/deg).... A8
Load influence on horizontal shift ........(deg/kN)..... A9
Horizontal shift at load = 0 ..............(deg)........ A10
Camber influence on vertical shift ........(N/deg/kN)... A111
Camber influence on vertical shift ........(N/deg/kN**2) A112
Load influence on vertical shift ..........(N/kN)....... A12
Vertical shift at load = 0 ................(N).......... A13

Shape factor ........................................... B0
Load infl. on long. friction coeff (*1000)... (1/kN) ... B1
Longitudinal friction coefficient at load = 0 (*1000)... B2
Curvature factor of stiffness ............ (N/%/kN**2) . B3
Change of stiffness with load at load = 0 (N/%/kN) .... B4
Change of progressivity of stiffness/load (1/kN) ...... B5
Curvature change with load ............................. B6
Curvature change with load ............................. B7
Curvature at load = 0 .................................. B8
Load influence on horizontal shift ....... (%/kN) ...... B9
Horizontal shift at load = 0 ............. (%) ......... B10
Load influence on vertical shift ......... (N/kN) ...... B11
Vertical shift at load = 0 ............... (N) ......... B12

Shape factor ........................................... C0
Load influence of peak value ............ (Nm/kN**2) ... C1
Load influence of peak value ............ (Nm/kN) ...... C2
Curvature factor of stiffness ........... (Nm/deg/kN**2) C3
Change of stiffness with load at load = 0 (Nm/deg/kN) .. C4
Change of progressivity of stiffness/load (1/kN) ....... C5
Camber influence on stiffness ........... (%/deg/100) .. C6
Curvature change with load ............................. C7
Curvature change with load ............................. C8
Curvature at load = 0 .................................. C9
Camber influence of stiffness .......................... C10
Camber influence on horizontal shift......(deg/deg)..... C11
Load influence on horizontal shift........(deg/kN)...... C12
Horizontal shift at load = 0..............(deg)......... C13
Camber influence on vertical shift........(Nm/deg/kN**2) C14
Camber influence on vertical shift........(Nm/deg/kN)... C15
Load influence on vertical shift..........(Nm/kN)....... C16
Vertical shift at load = 0................(Nm).......... C17

Thanks. Maybe we should have our graphic editor. Something like pacejka editor in racer?

[TerraRoot]

excellent!

Good find. I pulled some of this information from an obscure book I have, and apparently, you can get some of this information from manufacturers about their tires. For what it's worth though, just knowing what these fields are and having some understanding of what they do can help if you have a tire model you feel is just horribly wrong. Maybe when this is put into an editor of some sort, there can be a simplified indication of what these numbers do, and how they relate to each other built in?

I've added this information to the vdrift wiki:
