6.1.4.5. Road Data

For using GTire (Generic Tire), it allows the user to create GRoad before creating GTire. For references, the user cannot use GTire if there is no GRoad.

Before creating GRoad, the user must save the model because it is needed to set the local path of the *.rdf file which is saved in the GRoad. Therefore, if the user clicks Import GRoad or Face GRoad without saving the model, the following error message appears.
