Eighteen Wheeler

Home : Products : MapleSim : Model Gallery : Eighteen Wheeler

In this model, the behavior of complex multi-axle vehicles is observed. Using tire models, the effects of slip angle during steering manoeuvres are examined. Multibody Sayers vehicle topology is used to investigate the stability of the vehicle through various duty cycles.

Note: This model requires the MapleSim Tire Component Library.
