Finding

BaseTire applied MF52 longitudinal/lateral forces as though tire-road axes were connector axes. That is only valid for a special orientation; toe, camber, and road-frame rotation can otherwise resolve loads incorrectly. The two independently projected road axes could also become non-orthogonal.

Fix

Construct an orthonormal horizontal road basis and resolve the MF52 force and moment vectors through it before applying them to the contact-patch frame.

Validation

  • Dedicated frame regression passed orthogonality assertions and preserved a 600/800 N combined-force magnitude of 1000 N.
  • Full VehicleSim initialized without homotopy and reached QSS normally at 6.104411 s.
  • All selected VehicleSim result channels were finite; minimum tire normal load remained positive.
