Browsers provide a structured view of model data, which you can use to review, modify, create, and manage
the contents of a model. In addition to visualization, browsers offer features like search, filtering, and sorting,
which enhance your ability to navigate and interact with the model data.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Use PhysicsAI to build fast predictive models from CAE data. PhysicsAI can be trained on data with any physics or
remeshing and without design variables.
Front suspension supports the wheels in the front with the help of a solid axle. The front suspension stabilizes the
vehicle to the road and helps to absorb the bumps of the road. There are two types of front suspension used in the
Truck Library.
The steering system mechanism permits the driver to guide the truck along the rod and turn right or left as desired.
The steering mechanism includes the steering wheel which the driver regulates the steering gear which converts the
rotary motion of the wheel into straight line motion.
The stabilizer bar helps to control body roll on turns. The Assembly Wizard allows selection of two types of stabilizer
bars, single piece and two piece.
Explore, organize and manage your personal data, collaborate in teams, and connect to other data sources, such as
corporate PLM systems to access CAD data or publish simulation data.
The Shock Absorber system models a conventional shock absorber and the bushings at
the top and bottom of the shock.
The system has is modeled with two rigid bodies, a rod and a tube. Force in the shock
is modeled using the spring damper element in MotionView. Forces generated by the shock are normally a function of the velocity between
the two bodies. Shock data is normally measured on a shock dynamometer. Shock
absorber force is normally non-linear and the extension direction normally generates
more force than the compression direction. A wide variety of shock forces can be
described using the expression builder and the force element found in the shock
absorber system. Figure 1.
The shock absorber resolves into two different joint types based on the selection in
the Assembly Wizard.
Shock Absorber with Inline Joints
The inline joints represent the joints at the piston to tube location and at the rod
to top of tube location. Figure 2.
Shock Absorber with Cylindrical Joints
In a cylindrical joint type shock, the two inline joints are replaced with a single
cylindrical joint and located at the top of the shock tube. Figure 3.
Auto Damper
The AutoDamper is a force-velocity model designed to easily simulate a shock absorber
used in ground vehicles. The damper force generated is positive during compression
and negative during expansion. Figure 4.
