Each road wheel of the vehicle model offered in RecurDyn/Track_HM consists of two wheels that are rigidly connected. There are three possibilities for the track center guide and wheel interactions.
•The right side plate of the wheel - the left side wall of the track center guide.
•The left side plate of the wheel - the right side wall of the track center guide.
•One bottom surface of wheel - the top surface of track center
•In these three contact cases, a concentrated contact force is introduced at the contact surface of the double wheel, and that contact force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force acting on the track link.
(a) Side wall contact (b) Top surface contact
