Tire Modeling
Altair EmployeeHey guys,
I'm trying to simulate a tire bouncing off a rigid wall. I defined a monitored volume with air properties and an external surface, which is the tire.
The external pressure is 0.1 MPas and the external is 0.2 MPas. The solver runs fine but the funny thing is that the pressure of the monitored volume is
decreasing permanently (also below 0.2 MPas, like there would be a leak somewhere...). In the attached picture you see the peak where it hits the ground
but then, instead of normalizing the pressure to 0.2 MPas, it's getting less and less. The volume of the monitored volume gets bigger, therefore the product
of p*V to the power of gamma stays constant.
Why is this happening? How can I change this?
Is there a more realistic way of modeling/simulating a tire?
(Also the Hypermesh file is attached)
Appreciate all of your answers, thanks (;

Hi,
Please try with the attached files. Monitored volume parameters were modified and also the initial velocity of the model is modified. And also some changes were made in the engine file.

Thank you for the quick response!
The pressure is, I'm afraid, still decreasing permanently after impact...
Maybe you have some other advise for me?

The pressure drop seems to be very low in this case and I feel this as an intended behavior. For a similar case like tyre drop, the plot is attached along.
Meanwhile I'll check for some details related to this topic.

Okay, yeah your pressure plot is perfect, but when I'm running your attached files I get the same pressure curve as I got before
The pressure never gets constant as shown in your plot above...
May you could attach the solver files one more time?
Thanks for checking some other information about this topic !

hey again,
I don't really want to get on your nerves but I still don't get it working right...
Always this descending pressure curves are annoying me, I really don't know what I'm making wrong...
Maybe you could show me step by step how to set up a realistic tire simulation with an appropriate pressure curve at the end?
I have tried everything and you are kind of my last chance to get it right...
Thank you in advance!
