Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/096128
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method of simulating performances of vehicle/tire comprising the tire model step (S1) of building a tire model in which a tire including plies is modeled in finite number of elements, the body modeling step (S2) of building a body model in which a body including suspension members is modeled in finite number of elements, the vehicle model step (S3) of building a vehicle model by mounting the tire model to a suspension model in which the suspension members of the vehicle model are modeled, and the steps (S4, S5) of virtually driving the vehicle model under a given boundary condition and simulating vehicle drive characteristics or tire characteristics.
