Tractor-semitrailer web site help: Simulation
Access to information regarding performed computer simulations using developed FE models of tractor and semitrailer vehicles can be obtained through the Simulation section. The web content is organized in three units as follows:
| Simulation |
| Tractor |
| Combination vehicle |
Each unit can be easily reached through the vertical navigation menu located at the left hand side of the page. Current unit selection is highlighted in separate color.
Overall fidelity of the tractor and tractor-semitrailer FEM models was determined by comparing simulated vehicle response with real vehicle response in identical crash scenarios. General information regarding the FEM models used in the simulations and the full-scale crash tests they emulate can be found in the Simulation's opening section. Model simulations are conveniently linked to their corresponding tests throughout the text. Simulation ...
Information regarding simulations performed with FEM models of tractor vehicles can be found in the Simulation's Tractor section. A brief description of the model and the crash scenario is accompanied with links to several movie clips showing the impact from different viewing angles. Left mouse click on any image launches a new window where the user's default media player displays the animation. The simulation content is also conveniently linked to coresponding source FEM model files available for download. Tractor ...
