Abstract

The benefits of employing the virtual simulation tools tend to be amplified when applied at the initial stages of the project. In order to predict the loads acting on a component, a load generation methodology is used. The suspension loads generated depend on a series of suspension and body characteristics. These characteristics are refined to suit ride, handling and fuel consumption targets. The focus of the present study is to evaluate the effects of these variations on the rear suspension durability using load generation DOE and Fatigue analyses. Through this understanding, an initial virtual prototype can be idealized.

早期设计阶段的扭力梁开发：悬架和车身特性对后悬架耐久性的影响

摘要

当在项目的初始阶段应用时，使用虚拟仿真工具的好处往往会被放大。为了预测作用在组件上的载荷，使用了载荷生成方法。产生的悬架载荷取决于一系列悬架和车身特性。这些特性经过改进以适应行驶、操控和油耗目标。本研究的重点是使用负载生成 DOE 和疲劳分析来评估这些变化对后悬架耐久性的影响。通过这种理解，可以理想化初始虚拟原型。
