    FEA for Dynamic Multybody Physics Fatigue

    He I am trying to decide What FEA package I should buy. I need to model the rear supsension of a motorcycle. I hope to be able to animate it and determine the stresses the rear swing arm, axel and differential will be subject to. I would like to model it in Solidworks but am wondering if...

    Differential Material?

    I am trying to get an idea of what material to use if I want to build a differential for a very small vehicle? Does anyone have recommendations? What do most automobiles have? Blessings :)

    Ansys Compatible with SolidWorks?

    HI I am seriously considering buying Ansys and SolidWorks to design and analyze motorcycle frames. Do they work well with each other or should I just go with Cosmos? I am very familiar with SolidWorks but only have a little experience with Ansys and none with Cosmos. I need something with...

    Road Impact On Tires

    Hi I was wondering if there is data on the coeficient of restitution for tires or even if such a thing exists. I am trying to get an idea of fatigue on my motorcyle frame from road impact. I am hoping to calculate the forces caused by road impact. To do this I have been using impact...

    Road Impact On Tires

    Hi Does anyone know if there have been tests done on tires to determine the coefficient of restitution at different speeds, with different masses? If so where can I get this kind of data? Or, should I be treating the tire as if it were a spring and determine its k value? If this is the case...
