I am a new fsaer?I am doing the suspension design.

I finished my suspension geometry?and set the initial hardpoint.
the next step I want to optimize the hardpoint, I am using DOE method.
nowI am confused with what objectives should I choose when I doing the experiment? roll center location ?camber curve ?any other?

and how about about the goal?make the objectives changes as little as possible when the wheel travel? or anything else?
hope for the help http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That's up to you, and your design intent. There's no over-ruling best answer, or you could say there's no wrong answer. Just like deciding whether to make your uprights out of billet aluminum or welded steel, whether to use a 4cyl or single cyl, whether or not to have wings...
