Preface
Altair's MotionSolve is a powerful software tool for simulating and analyzing vehicle dynamics and performance. The Vehicle Tools Extension allows the User to easily assemble common vehicle platforms and simulate a wide range of vehicle events and maneuvers, such as lane changes, hill climbs, handling tests, and more.
As a newer User, it is important to learn how to modify existing vehicle models to better replicate your goal vehicle model.
Introduction
In this article we modify a single-axle rear driveline heavy truck to represent a dual-axle electric drive heavy truck. To achieve this, we will duplicate the single-axle driveline, replace the existing rear axle, remove the north-south driveshafts, and add electric motor torques as inputs to the mechanical differentials.
Model Assembly
Please follow the video below to assemble your own model:
Hopefully this process can be of use to you in your MotionView journey!
