ETA VPG 3.4
VPG\’s Structure module allows the user to define LS-DYNA models which can be used for mechanical system analysis including tire model, suspension model and road surfaces. eta/VPG uses an analysis approach consistent with test environments dynamic non-linear analysis using real-time boundary conditions. Road Surface Models * Digitized from MGA proving ground roads * Any 3-D data can be used to generate road surfaces Tire Models * 3-D FEA models including the tire air pressure * Frictional Contact interface with road * Validated versus test data Vehicle Dynamics * Road Load Generation * Use of simplified models for event-based loads * Rigid and flexible members * Component or sub-system studies Full System & Component Durability / Fatigue Assessment * Time-domain transient...
