changing adams hardpoint and running a simulation
Sign convention:
Wheels points outward is positive

Steps:
-McPherson suspension is created from Mdi front suspension and Mdi front steering


-Then parallel wheel analysis is setup by specifying number of steps and bump and rebound travel

-then changes are made to the lower control arm ball joint height and its effects on camber gradients is studied
-this was done by HPL_LCA_OUTER,its z-axis was decreased by 15 mm and increased by 15 mm to study the of effect of ball joint height change on the camber gradient


-then curves are generated

-the curve shows that generally that the suspension during bump has very small negative camber gain during part of its bump travel but it then reverts positive camber which is undesirable

-the curves also show that camber gradient which is the slope measured at zero position on the x axis is inversely probational to the lower control arm ball joint height,so as z-height is increased the camber gradient is decreased and vice versa
