Post-Processing RMOD-K Tire Plotting
- Tire states (speeds, rotations,etc.)
- Tire performance information (rolling radius, etc.)
- Tire forces in the SAE coordinate frame
- Tire forces in the Tydex-W (wheel) coordinate frame
- Tire forces in the Tydex-C (contact patch) coordinate frame
The plot data is stored in both the .abf file and the .plt file for post-processing. Plotting can be done in HyperGraph version 10.0 and later.
.abf File Post-processing
Requested tire data is saved as a REQSUB type in the .abf file. Select the specific tire data you are interested in and plot the request. Requests must be plotted individually and cannot be selected as a group. When plotting the .abf file, the component names are displayed and will show up on the plot as the line label names (see the examples below):.plt File Post-processing
Tire requests are reported in the .plt file as REQSUB entities. Requests and the column where they are stored in the data are shown in figure below:Request | Description | X | Y | Z | RX | RY | RZ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Rolling States | Rolling Radius | Omega Actual | ||||
2 | Tire Kinematics | Longitudinal Slip | Lateral Slip | Inclination Angle | |||
3 | Tire Forces in Ground Ref Frame | Longitudinal Force | Lateral Force | Normal Force | Overturning Moment | Rolling Resistance | Aligning Torque |
6 | Tire forces in Tydex C Ref Frame | Longitudinal Force | Lateral Force | Normal Force | Overturning Moment | Rolling Resistance | Aligning Torque |
10 | Tire Contact Patch Location | Tire X Contact Patch Location | Tire Y Contact Patch Location | Tire Z Contact Patch Location | |||
15 | Miscellaneous Data | Tire Model Enumerator | CPU Time |
