FTire/rim

Extension to FTire/core for flexible and visco-plastic rim modelling.

Key features

• Internal elastic and plastic rim deformation model on basis of FE load cases import
• Interface to user-defined rim models
• Rim-to-tire friction and slip models

Benefits at a glance

• Fast approach for elastically deformable rim
• Enhanced misuse events
• Rim-to-belt and rim-to-road contact
• FTire / FEA (finite element analysis) coupling
