The Assembly Information property page is shown in Figure 1. The parameters are explained below.
•Pressure-Sinkage: If it is checked, Contact Parameter between the ground and track link shoe pad is changed as soil conditions. For more information, click here.
•Contact Parameter: Defines characteristic values to contact between the ground and track link shoe.
•If Pressure-Sinkage option is checked, the contact parameters for Soil Ground. For more information, click here.
•If Pressure-Sinkage options is not checked, the contact parameters for Rigid Ground. For more information, click here.
•Bushing Force: Defines characteristic values to connect between two links. For more information, click here.
•Grouser contact: Defines Grouser Contact between grousers as Sphere to Sphere contact. For more information, click here.
•Copy Data: For more than two track chain system, the user can easily apply same characteristics to another track chain system.
