Hi there,

For quad axle group configurations, the mas tables generated on create now default the GML and axle group values for QML1 to CML limits. πŸ™Œ.

Previously the QML1 GML and axle group values defaulted to the quad limits (same as QML2).

Note that the maximum limits for QML1 masses are not limited by CML limits.

Shared by John β€’ May 22, 2023

Hi there,

The automatic generation of Part B documents for Design Approval applications has been updated πŸ™Œ.

Based on feedback we've made the following fixes and improvements:

  • Insert engine torque speed graphs into correct section within document (previously attached to the end of the document)
  • GCM (from the Assessment application step) is added to the Vehicle Physical Characteristics > Mass section of the Part B. If there are multiple GCMs, the maximum GCM should be used.
  • For all Couplings in the Vehicle Specifications > Coupling section, if rear checkbox is checked add β€˜Rear’ to description after β€˜(minimum)’ label with a space.
  • Insert space between unit of measurement and β€˜kN’ label for couplings.
  • Add unit for Driveline clutch engagement after numeric value (with space between).
  • Add thousands separator to value for Driveline clutch engagement.
  • Maintain aspect ratio of images included in DA applications that are transferred to Part B.
  • Populate Power (hp) and Torque (lbf.ft) in Part B when populated in UI.
  • Remove kW and Nm labels from Part B when not populated in UI.
  • When steer or drive checkboxes are checked, add a prefix to relevant row in the Part B.
  • Add notes for differential to Part B.
  • Add note for gearbox to Part B.
