Solid contact of tire is the function that uses solid contact function in RecurDyn/Professional for contact between road and tire.
When the road is not flat and the number of patches of road is large, the road needs to move, use Solid Contact.
In Solid Contact, the user selects the surfaces for road and tire.
•It is difficult to get penetration information for tire force from two surface patches.
•The tire:
•Makes the virtual road patch that the tire surface and geometry and road geometry are overlapped with Solid Contact.
•Is assumed that the torus and road data use the virtual road patch to get the precise penetration information.
•Because Solid Contact is only used to make the virtual road patch, the plane tolerance factor of solid patch of contact surface do not need the small for search speed.
The real contact geometry is the torus shape that is defined in the dialog box of Tire Property.
