Modifying Hard Points in an assembly has made most of the related properties lose their link the subsystem?

 
This was my new start point, but when I modified the hard points of the front suspension subsystem it lost most/all of its links with the property files? Here's what I did:
 
  1. Created a new subsystem, using the template _fsae_frontsusp.
  2. Modified the hard points to reflect the teams current car setup, placing the zero reference on the ground with y=0 and x=0, which is the xy coord of the CoG, and all dimentions taken from there.
  3. Applied the changes and looked at the graphical representation (looked good).
  4. Saved the subsystem and got a huge list of property file warnings (attached)?
  5. Did the same for the ARB and steering and got similar issues.
  6. Created a new assembly with the front susp, arb and steering, got some more property wanings.
  7. Tried to run a front suspension assembly simulation, but unsurprisingly it wouldn't run.
 
It looks similar to the above problem in that all of the property files are a lot older (2012/2013)?
 
I'm not sure why this would happen? Am I missing a step?

  • Hi Woz.
    What is the name of the database you are using ? if it for example is called fsae_2018
    then check if the property files mentionen in the file you attached exist in the newer fsae database that you are using?
    If so then just rename the property file database from
    mdids://fsae_2013/bushings.tbl/fsae_control_arm_bushing.bus
    to
    mdids://fsae_2018/bushings.tbl/fsae_control_arm_bushing.bus'
    inside the subsystem files (.sub) referenced by the assembly (.asy)
    This is done with a text editor which can search through a folder and replace in multiple files in the genral case but for you maybe there are not so many subsystems to look through.
