cosin software 2014-1 release notes

1. output step size in CTI can be set independently on animation step-size
2. redesign and simplification of cosin/tools GUI
3. cosin’s CRG road evaluation compensates OpenCRG bug
4. CTI can handle now more than one RGR road file with integrated center-line at the same time
5. new cosin/roadtools function to easily compare cosin and OpenCRG evaluation of CRG roads
6. centerline export from RGR data files added to cosin/roadtools
7. diagnosis mode added for FTire accelereted and realtime modes
8. shear damping added to Bekker soil equation evaluation, to improve accuracy and numerical stability
9. detailed tire data file comparison added to cosin/tiretools
10. cosin evaluation of CRG road data files now supports linked data files and modifiers
11. FTire/link: mex function to create matlab matrix from road evaluation added
12. urm roads can be used in several instances, with same data file each
13. automatic calibration of cosin-evaluated crg roads completed: (1) centerline-shif; (2) horizontal grid shift; (3) vertical grid shift
14. CRG -> RGR export made robust against noisy centerline data
15. moving road made available in CTI tire simulation replay
16. parameterized simulation loop in FTire/static and FTire/steady-state enabled
17. improvements in CTI multi-threading implementation, to better cooperate with special real-time systems
18. export function WaveFront and SHL files -> RDF files added to cosin/roadtools
19. new CTI function ctiPutRimForces(), for output of linear distributed rim flange forces
20. include Tcl/Tk 8.5 distribution for all platforms
    
21. correction in computation of free belt moments of inertia
22. fix: small dependency on large yaw angles in FTire’s steady-state side-forces (for downward compatibility, fix can be made ineffective with feature data 2013/12/13)
