Hello,
At the moment I am working on a motorcycle project. The connection between the fork and the frame is the area of interest. In reality the connection is ensured via two bearings, where I need the reaction forces.
When running some event out of the vehicle toolbox (for example n-Post) the event locks the rotational DOF for the steering movement. To achieve that only non-compliant joints of type revolute, translational or cylindrical are allowed.
The problem I am facing now is, that I need two bushings (or compliant joints) for a realistic representation, because the distribution of the forces at the bearings depends on the direction of the applied loads.
Is there some way to implement that in the model without creating an own event? I already tried the approach with an additional virtual joint as a “soft coupling” which will be locked during the simulation and two bushings, but looking at the results, most of the forces are visible at that joint and not at the bushings.
Thank you!
Philipp
