Configuring the support circuits and support triangle

Tuning the hydraulic suspension for your vehicle

Create a vehicle combination (Instructions: Create a vehicle combination).

Click on the tab Axle loads below the view of the vehicle combination.

If you switch to the top view, you can see visually (dashed line around the axles) which axles are connected to the front and which to the rear hydraulic support circuit.

You will also see the support triangle if the function for calculating tilting stability and overload limit is enabled.

You may also see the green-red bending bar bwlow the vehicle combination (Instructions: Calculate bending moments).
