3D Plank
$--------------------------------------------------MODEL
[MODEL]
METHOD = '3D'
ROAD_TYPE = 'plank'
The required specifications for a plank is the
following:
MU = 1.0 $ peak friction scaling coefficient
OFFSET = 0 $ vertical offset of the ground wrt inertial frame
HEIGHT = 10.0 $ height of the plank, negative value creates a depression
START = 5000 $ distance along the X-axis of the road to the start of the plank
LENGTH = 50 $ length of the plank (including bevel) along X-axis of the road
BEVEL_EDGE_LENGTH = 0 $ length of the 45 deg. bevel edge of the cleat
DIRECTION = 45 $ deg of rotation of the plank about the Z-axis wrt to the Y-axis of road
The direction keyword can be used to rotate the cleat about its road reference marker’s z axis at its location.
