Numerical Results
Ansys results for tangential displacement is shown in the picture below:
The maximum tangential deformation occurs at the tip of the suspension links, which is reasonable, and the tangential value is 0.0226 inches.
Using the equations given above, you can calculate the torsional stiffness to be 5797.41 ft-lb/deg.
