WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Vehicle Tire Modelling in ELEMENTS
In this webinar, we will provide a practical introduction to the different tire models available in ELEMENTS and provide a walk through of how to setup simulations with these different models.
Tire treads, rims, and the rotational motion of wheels have a tremendous influence on vehicle aerodynamic performance, both on the road and within wind tunnels tests. Subsequently, tire modelling approaches can strongly influence numerical results and overall simulation cost. We must choose the right tire model to balance our desire for accuracy and available resources.
Within our “Learn by Example” Webinar series, this session is designed to offer a hands-on introduction to the various tire models featured in ELEMENTS, accompanied by a step-by-step guide on configuring simulations using these diverse models.
Who should watch
Aero CFD Engineers who are interested in setting up higher fidelity tire models within ELEMENTS to enhance their simulation accuracy.
