Notes

  1. 1.

    The required accuracy depends on the programs you use. Usually, an error message will prevent you from being able to calculate until the coordinates are sufficiently accurate.

  2. 2.

    In the real vehicle, this would correspond to a diagonal brace, which is also used for stiffening.
