Vehicle Dynamics

Tune your ride with Altair HyperWorks

Whether you are riding in a an expensive sports car, an inexpensive sub-compact, or a rugged SUV or off-road vehicle, the ride and handling characteristics determine much of the perception of comfort and performance of your vehicle. Vehicle dynamics engineers need sophisticated methods for analyzing and improving the "feel" of an automobile, and simulation methods are essential in finding the optimal solution.

Altair multibody solutions help you simulate and optimize all of the important parameters that govern vehicle dynamics:

  • Suspension Design: Study your suspensions to find optimum suspension design factors.

  • Ride and Handling: Tune your full vehicle handling and ride characteristics using appropriate handling or durability tires.

  • Loads Prediction for Fatigue Analysis: Perform a four post durability analysis or a full vehicle analysis with durability tires and generate loads for your fatigue analysis with the virtual model.
