Maplesoft's Dynaflex provides real time dynamic vehicle simulation

Dynaflex Pro/Tire Module from Maplesoft provides real time dynamic vehicle simulation

DynaFlexPro/Tire enables accelerated, improved and real time modelling and simulation of vehicle dynamics for automotives and off the road applications. This tool is more comprehensive, covering the three main tire models, and is also more accurate because it uses symbolic math computation.

Maplesoft announced a Tire Module for DynaFlexPro™, the Maple™-based tool for modelling and simulating the dynamics of complex mechanical multi-body systems such as mechanisms, robots and machinery. DynaFlexPro/Tire enables full dynamic vehicle simulation and includes physical modelling of the three main tire force models on the market (Fiala, Calspan, and Pacejka’s magic tire formula), whereas other similar products include just one. Users need not provide an approximation of the tire parameters; they only have to incorporate the pneumatic tire model data in order to simulate vehicle behaviour, independent of the tire force model. Kinematic quantities, such as slip angle, longitudinal slip and inclination angle are derived as optimized computational sequences.
