Available RMOD-K Utilities
A variety of utility programs are available to use with RMOD-K. These utilities include: routines that build and correlate the tire model to measured data, a utility that will generate both a parameterized and a measured surface road model, and a utility to view the tire simulation after the model has been run.
Creating Tire Models
- General Tire Information (size, inflation pressure)
- Tire Topology Data
- Tire Force and Moment Measurements
- Tire Cleat Force Measurements
- Modal Information about the Tire
- Miscellaneous Additional Data
Road Surface Models
- Parametric Object Model - The parametric object model road describes the initial road surface and then allows you to describe a series of parametric objects on the road. Parametric objects include a spherical calotte, a cuboid with an optional chamfer, a triangle, and a cylinder.
- Scanned Road Surface - A point cloud , a wavefront file, and a variety of other files can be used to generate road surface models from measured data. Road surfaces can be measured using a road profilometer.
