Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
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.
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.
This section explains briefly on how to build a rear suspension model.
For example, select the Rear Dual axle suspension as the Rear Suspension and select the two
axle driveline system in the Rear end of truck section to build a Rear suspension model
using the Assembly Wizard. After building the model, the following model is displayed in the
graphics area.
Events
It is recommended that a simple event to be added, such as Kinematics and Compliance
Analysis, and then the model be simulated as soon as it is built. Events create motions and
forces in the model which make the system move. Most events add additional parts to the
model to perform the simulation. The following steps outline how to add an event to the
previously built model.
Click Analysis > Task Wizard, to begin adding an event to the model.
Select the required Rear end task from the drop-down menu.
Note: To learn more about the Ride Analysis, Roll Analysis, Steering Analysis, and
Static Load Analysis refer to the Rear Suspension Analysis Tasks topic.
Select Finish to exit the Task Wizard.
