HTire uses exactly the same program interfaces as all other
members of the FTire Tire Model Family. If called by the Cosine Tire Interface (CTI), the
member of the FTire Tire Model Family to be used is determined on the basis of the contents of
the tire data file. If HTire is recognized, the Magic Formula variant to be used is determined
in a similar way, and the content of the data file is interpreted respectively. The data file
is downward compatible to data files of several other Magic Formula implementations. As
with all other members of the FTire Tire Model Family, two data file formats are
available:
- the COSIN/io format
- the TeimOrbit™ format
In this documentation, only the TeimOrbit format is described for the tire
property file.
