A Driveline Angle Analyzer (DAA) for determining a torsional acceleration
and inertias of a vehicle driveline by entering measurements of a vehicle
driveline configuration into a graphical user interface program. The user
selects the driveline configuration of interest from a plurality of
driveline configurations. Then, the user enters information, such as
driveline measurements relating to the selected driveline configuration.
To aide in gathering the correct information, the user can print out a
worksheet for the selected driveline configuration. After the user inputs
the information for the selected driveline configuration, the user can
select a corrective mode that allows the user to improve the selected
driveline configuration. For example, the user can change the angle of a
component with the surrounding components by changing their angles and/or
length while enabling the components to stay connected to each other,
thus maintaining the vehicle's driveline geometry.
