Tree View¶

The Tree View provides a hierarchical overview of your entire vehicle model, showing all components and their relationships at a glance. It's your roadmap for navigating through the various subsystems of your vehicle setup.

Tree View

What is the Tree View?¶

The Tree View displays your currently selected vehicle configuration as an expandable tree structure. Each component can be:

Clicked to navigate directly to that component's page
Expanded to reveal child components
Folder-click to open the Setup Selector for quick setup switching

Quick Navigation

The Tree View is the fastest way to jump between different vehicle subsystems without using the navigation bar menus.

How to Use the Tree View¶

Navigating to Components¶

Click the component name to open that component's configuration page
Click the chevron icon (>) to jump to the component page.
Click any component folder icon to open its Setup Selector

Opening the Setup Selector¶

Click on any component folder icon in the tree to quickly access the Setup Selector for that specific component. This is faster than navigating to the component first and then opening the selector.

The Tree View shows the parent-child relationships between components:

Parent components (e.g., Suspension) contain multiple child components
Child components (e.g., Corner Springs, Dampers) are nested under their parent
Click the chevron to expand/collapse parent components

Vehicle Component Structure¶

Your vehicle model is organized into the following main components:

Core Components¶

Initialization¶

Base vehicle parameters and initial conditions: Camber, Toe, Ride heights, Gaps, Pressure, Mass

Chassis¶

Vehicle geometry, inertia, and compliance

Aerodynamics¶

Aerodynamic maps, coefficients, and balance - Aerodynamic Offsets - Wing offsets, or aerodynamic polynomial offsets

Kinematics¶

Pickup-point geometry and motion characteristics

Tyre Set¶

Tire configuration and models - Tyre Models - Individual tire characteristics and parameters

Suspension System¶

The suspension tree contains all spring, damper, and anti-roll bar components:

Corner Springs - Front left, front right, rear left, rear right
Heave Springs - Front and rear heave springs
Corner Dampers - Individual damper settings
Heave Dampers - Front and rear heave dampers
Corner Bump Stops - Compression limiters
Heave Bump Stops - Heave bump stop settings
Anti-Roll Bars - Front and rear ARB configurations

Powertrain¶

Different powertrain components appear based on your vehicle type:

For ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles: - Engine - Power, torque, and engine maps - Gears - Transmission ratios - Efficiency - Powertrain efficiencies - Differential - Differential settings and maps

For EV (Electric Vehicle) vehicles: - Battery - Battery capacity and characteristics - Motor - Electric motor specifications - Gears - Transmission ratios (if applicable) - Efficiency - Motor and drivetrain efficiency - Differential - Differential settings

Brakes¶

Braking system configuration - Calipers - Brake caliper specifications

Track¶

Track selection and configuration for simulations - Ambient Conditions - Temperature, humidity, and air pressure - Track Layout - Track geometry

Common Workflows¶

Reviewing Your Setup¶

Use the Tree View to quickly scan which components have custom configurations:

Expand all parent components
Look for components with custom names (indicating modified setups)
Click through to review or modify
