CDTire – Scalable Tire Model – Fraunhofer ITWM https://www.itwm.fraunhofer.de/en/departments/mf/cdtire.html
CDTire – Typical Applications
- Ride comfort studies on digitized road surfaces
- Harshness analysis on artificial obstacles such as cleats
- Durability analysis to predict spindle forces while driving on a durability test track
- NVH analysis using transient simulation in time domain or simulations in frequency domain based on linearized models
- Steering moment analysis during parking maneuvers
- Tire coupled test rig applications with up to all 6 directions driven for each tire
- Handling analysis on flat and 3D roads
- Active safety (ABS, ESP,…)
- Safety analysis with different fourth wheel
- Variation of inflation pressure
- Misuse-like events including tire ground out (also with flexible rim)
- Real-time applications like MIL / SIL / HIL
Supported Simulation Platforms:
