TIRE MODELS

(1) The General Data Method computes vertical force using the tire penetration and penetration rate on a 3D discrete triangular surface.(2) The Point Follower Method computes vertical force using the tire penetration and penetration rate on a 2D surface.(3) The Equivalent Plane Method estimates an area equivalent to the area of deformation and uses the estimated area to compute the vertical force.

CAPABILITIES

Easily Explore “What-if” Scenarios

Rather than rely on guesswork or time-consuming physical testing,you can use ADAMS/Tire’s models to perform “what-if” analysesaimed at finding the optimal tire-vehicle configurations.You can easily swap tire data to immediately see the effects onvehicle performance. You can also test different tire data at different

wheel locations, in case wheel positions can vary in your vehicledesign.

Optimize Tire-Vehicle Performance

Tire modeling with ADAMS/Tire can range from simple tosophisticated. For example, the Fiala model is easy to work with and

runs fast. Using estimated data for several key tire parameters, youcan quickly get your vehicle model up and running. For advancedapplications, both the Smithers and Delft models use highlyaccurate data-fitting routines on a broad range of tire parameters.This helps you get accurate visualization of handling behavior andallows easy refinement of your tire or vehicle model. Also, with theDelft model, you can set scale factors on a given tire, enabling youto perform parameter studies to determine your vehicle design’ssensitivity to variations in tire performance.
