Topic: Copy & Customize vehicle
Answer:
No, the FGSV 2020 (DE) vehicle library does not include underrun protection parameters. The source document used to create this library did not reference the ECE 58R03 regulation, which became mandatory for new vehicles after September 1, 2019.
Users who need to include underrun protection effects in their simulations can create a copy of the existing FGSV vehicle and manually adjust the relevant parameters:
- Ground clearance (reduce to reflect the underrun device)
- Rear overhang distance (adjust if the underrun extends beyond the trailer body)
This allows users to conduct vehicle clearance or ramp simulations while considering underrun protection, without modifying the base library vehicles.
