Vehicle Dynamics - Loads Prediction

Load Prediction using Multibody Dynamics

MotionView and MotionSolve provide a Multibody Dynamics solution that allow early concept load predictions, easy model modification to improve the design and reflect system changes, and extensive postprocessing to understand the performance of the design and the performance of the system.

Users can generate loads for downstream fatigue analysis by:

  • Applying a duty cycle data input on a virtual vehicle through four poster test

  • Simulating entire test using virtual road using upcoming durability tires and 3D road


Features Include:

  • A suspension model library for consistent and rapid model building

  • DOE and statistical methods to understand the system variation to both external factors and internal factors. User’s can understand the nominal loading and also the variation of the loading under normal operating characteristics.

  • System information, such as loads, can be easily shared with Finite Element models.

  • Plug and Play system level modeling for easy re-use of subsystems.
