Steering maneuver simulation in Motion View such as Sinusoidal Steering or Step Steer

Umut Özbey

I tried to analyze my front-end vehicle in Motion View. I had to measure the driver’s input torque.I found some instructions about it. Then I added the EPAS system to my model so ı thought when ı did it ı could analyze the Steering maneuver simulation in Motion  View such as Sinusoidal Steering or Step Steer, and then get to the results. However, these events are not available in front-end vehicles. To do that with the wizard ı had to load the full body of the vehicle. Here is my question how can ı learn my torque with a wizard or sensor?

Understanding the torque at the steering wheel (the output), requires that you have an accurate representation of the torque generated by the tire with respect to the road (input).  These typically require tire models (such as Pacejka or Ftire) and a full vehicle model.  If you want to do this with a front suspension only model, then YOU need to come up with a way of applying a representative torque to the wheel that accurately represents the tire-road interaction.   This is typically why these analyses are required to run as full vehicle.  To get anything that represents and accurate results, you need tire models and a full vehicle analysis.
