Learn by Example: Vehicle Tire Modelling in ELEMENTS
Main Topic of Discussion
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.
As part of our “Learn by Example” Webinar series, this session 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.
Who Should Watch?
Aero CFD Engineers who are interested in setting up higher fidelity tire models within ELEMENTS to enhance their simulation accuracy.
