    • Tire Modeling

      • Introduction to Tire Modeling

        Tires are critical elements to modeling a vehicle’s interaction with a road, with some tire models better suited to specific simulation domains.

      • Coordinate Systems and Output Requests

      • Multi-Threading and Tire Models

        Since computing tire forces and moments during a vehicle simulation is one of the most costly tasks, multi-threaded execution of tire models on a multi-core computer can substantially reduce the clock time for a simulation.

      • CD-Tire Modeling

        CD-Tire (Comfort and Durability Tire model) is a mathematical model of a tire that is built using a combination of physical tire information and measured test data of the tire.

      • Fiala Tire

        The FIALA tire model serves as the first stepping stone in full vehicle simulation because it is simple enough to be comprehended completely by the MBD analyst. Furthermore, the forces and torques produced by the tire/road interaction use a series of physically meaningful parameters.

      • FTire Modeling

      • MF-SWIFT/MF-Tyre Modeling

      • User Written Tire and Road Models

        User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.

        • Writing Tire Models

        • Writing Road Models

          User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.
