Changing Tire and road orientation

Changing Tire and road orientation

Changing Tire and road orientation

(OP)
I need to know while working in Adams/View changing the orientation of the tire and road according to our vehicle orientation could cause any problem?.
if yes how could we solve this problem?

I mean changing the orientation(euler angle) of the tires such as pac 2002 model to suit my vehicle model makes no contact between tire and road it actually penetrating into the road and falling down due to gravity.

RE: Changing Tire and road orientation

Yes that is quite a common problem. Always assemble your model with the tire above the surface and bring them into contact using a static funnel or similar procedure. For instance I think ADAMS/CAR assembles the car in mid air and then drops it onto the road.

Thanks for your reply. So, how can I Change the orientation of the tire and road which in practical perpendicular to each other, since while creating tire and road in A/view, using default euler angle(0,0,0) and location (0,0,0) for both tire and road could create both parallel to each other. So what should I do?

Got it, Thank you very much for your reply.
