Realtime Simulation
Convert a Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift model into a real-time variant without model reduction to guarantee equal numerical results across all stages. Over the course of the product development trajectory, various simulation environments pass by, including desktop applications, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups, and driving simulators. Simcenter helps engineers use a standardized tire model across all simulations by adapting the model to the required computational performance without affecting results. Consequently, Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift is currently supported on most industry-standard real-time operating systems.

Tire model parameter identification
Convert measured data into parameters for Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift models using a user-friendly tire parameter identification tool that includes data visualization, database functionality and advanced estimation capabilities. The Simcenter MF-Tool also enables visualization and tuning/modification of tire models. It allows engineers to study the effects of changing tire conditions, such as tire inflation pressure, stiffness and friction levels, by the automatic scaling of tire properties. Users can also create their own “virtual tire” by modifying tire properties with standard tire model parameters or measured data.

Tire Measurements
Measure tire performance for many road surfaces, covering dry, wet, snow and icy road conditions, using an on-road test laboratory. The Simcenter test trailer is specifically designed to measure the forces and moments a tire yields on the road in various situations. Both passenger car and motorcycle tires can be measured. On the in-house developed motorcycle tire measurement setup, tires can be measured at camber angles up to 70 degrees. Besides gathering the input for the Simcenter MF-Tool parameter identification tool and, subsequently, the Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift tire models, the measurement facilities are also used for validation and benchmarking studies.

Tire modeling engineering services
Collaborate with our engineers and achieve a highly accurate and efficient tire modeling process. Simcenter engineering services experts provide scalable help, from testing on location to setting up dedicated tire testing protocols. Project results can perfectly integrate into existing processes and can be complemented with training on the use of Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift. Other typical engineering services are tire testing protocol and parameter identification improvement and/or automation, tire test rig improvements, studies to the correlation between specific tire characteristics and vehicle dynamics performance criteria, and in-depth transfer of tire performance knowledge.
