UATire

 

The UATire model is only supported to the 3D Patch type’s tire model and various road models can be supported later. The current supported Road Property file is as follows.

If the user uses the rdf file in the UATire model, the creation method of GRoad from the geometry is recommended than the creation method by directly inputting values.
