 There are several mass properties parameters associated with each car file.  For kinematics analysis, only the z-component of the center of gravity is currently used.  It affects only the calculation of the anti-dive and anti-lift values.

 The \element{Kinematics Toolbar} is where the user can define a kinematic state for which the kinematic outputs shall be calculated.  As the user types in the Pitch, Roll, Heave and Steer boxes, the kinematic outputs are computed for all open car files and the \element{Main Display Area} and \element{Output Lists} are updated.  The units for these inputs are determined by the options set in the options dialog (see \sref{ssec:optionsUnits}).

-Springs are assumed to be in equilibrium when accelerations are zero.  This assumption is used to compute the pre-load on the springs at ride height.  Currently, third springs are not considered in quasi-static analyses.

-Additionally, this analysis currently neglects suspension droop limits.  It may be obvious that if a negative tire load is calculated this can be interpreted as a case where the tire is no longer in contact with the ground, but really the accuracy of the simulation may have been compromised prior to seeing a negative tire load.  If the suspension springs are pre-loaded, for example, the tire will have lost contact with the ground before the model reports negative contact loads.  Use this feature with care.

-When inputs are entered in the \element{Quasi-Static Toolbar}, tire load and kinematic state outputs are appended to the data listed in the output pane.  The pitch and roll angle outputs will depend on the user-specified center-of-rotation and rotation order.  The kinematic state may be non-zero even when both input accelerations are zero due to tire compliance.  Steering input specified in the \element{Kinematics Toolbar} is also applied to quasi-static analyses.
