Vehicle Model with Double-Wishbone Front and Trailing-Arm Rear Suspension

Home : Products : MapleSim : Model Gallery : Vehicle Model with Double-Wishbone Front and Trailing-Arm Rear Suspension

This model represents a vehicle model with double wishbone front suspension and trailing arm suspension in the rear. It includes a rack-and-pinion steering mechanism and uses a Fiala tire model for the tire/contact patch interaction. The simulation is of a lane-change maneuver.

This model uses the MapleSim Tire Component Library.
