LARGE SUV MODELLING

Using data from ‘real world’ vehicle testing the model, which incorporates the Cosin FTire tyre model, was tuned to achieve close correlation to physical results. Model parameters that were tuned include bush stiffness, damping values, un-sprung mass, tyre pressure, top/bottom mounts and engine mount stiffness. The model will be used by our customer to understand the vehicle performance and how to influence its behaviour in ride quality without adversely effecting handling.
