TrackLM 글 편집

RecurDyn/TrackLM (Track Low Mobility) gives the ability to simulate construction-style tracked vehicles such as excavators, dozers, and tractors. The track assembly simulation toolkit supports the easy creation of track links, sprockets, rollers, idlers and link. Also, graphical design of sprocket teeth profile and grouser of the track link is supported.

TrackLM is a fast, accurate, and user-friendly track simulation toolkit, often used for the simulation of construction machinery, including:

• The simulation of track behavior
• The simulation of excavator operations
• The simulation of dozer

Tractor simulation using RecurDyn/TrackLM

Features

• Graphical user interface for easy and fast modeling and simulation of track assembly for construction machinery
  
• Fast and accurate simulation solver specialized for track assembly
• Various libraries of custom 3D geometric entities for low mobility tracked vehicle

• Graphical design of sprocket teeth profile (lines and arcs) and track link grouser profile (line segments)
  
• Automated track assembly modeling
• Efficient contact algorithms yield fast, robust simulations
• Easy creation of terrains, with a library of standard proving grounds
