Redesign

The plots are used to display the results of the dynamic analysis of the track. These plots should be used to redesign the geometry of the track, as illustrated here.

Some further changes should still be made to this track. A high seat force acceleration is found at the bottom of the first inversion of the corkscrew. The acceleration at the end of the corkscrew is also rather large. Through the top of the loop, the seat force is too low. Recalling that seat force acceleration values should fall approximately between -2 g's and 3.5 g's4.1, the geometry of the track should be modified until the accelerations encountered are reasonable throughout the track.
