🟩FEA Friday: Use of coefficient of friction

Simulation of simple Tyre, Road model using Mechanical Scenario Creation:

Rolling friction comes into play when an object rolls over another body.

Here is a simple simulation of Tyre-road model simulated using mechanical Scenario Creation explicit step.

In mechanical Scenario Creation the non-linear behavior can also be simulated.

Accordingly, material needs to be created. 


The transient simulation analysis step is performed using the Mechanical scenario creation app.

The steps are as follows:

1. Design

2. Meshing of parts

3. Creation of a solid section

4. Allocation of materials

5. Defining initial conditions (Defining rigid body to road)

6. Application of loads, contact properties, Constraints

6. Explicit analysis step creation

7. Exploring the results 

Important Step:

1.In Contact Property Tangential and normal behavior should be specified

2.Then in General contact Global contact property should be selected as shown in the picture.
