LMS and the Automotive Business Unit of TNO have signed a partnership agreement for the integration of TNO's tyre models into LMS Virtual.Lab Motion simulation software.
LMS and the Automotive Business Unit of TNO have signed a partnership agreement for the integration of TNO's tyre models into LMS Virtual.Lab Motion simulation software.
As a result of the agreement, LMS Virtual.Lab Motion users gain access to accurate and scalable tyre models for concept studies, handling simulation, comfort analysis and fatigue prediction.
LMS will market and sell the integrated TNO MF-Tyre and MF-Swift modelling capabilities as an integral part of LMS Virtual.Lab Motion.
The integrated solution has become available with the release of LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 6.
The TNO MF-Tyre and MF-Swift tyre models complement the existing tyre modelling capabilities in LMS Virtual.Lab and allow users to perform accurate and realistic full vehicle simulation for key attributes like ride and handling, comfort and durability.
High-fidelity modelling of tyres is the prerequisite to correctly translate the impact of different road surfaces on the vehicle and to realistically simulate the vehicle's driving behaviour.
The TNO Tyre models can be applied for the dynamic simulation of passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, industrial vehicles and aircraft landing gear.
MF-Tyre is TNO's implementation of the world standard Pacejka Magic Formula tyre model.
Its semi-empirical approach guarantees accurate handling simulation.
MF-Swift is the high frequency extension to the Magic Formula MF-Tyre model, which mainly supports comfort and durability simulation.
Leo Kusters, General Manager of TNO's Automotive Business Unit commented: "A realistic and accurate tyre model is an essential tool in the iterative process of modelling, validating and optimising the vehicle-tyre interaction".
"The combination of our tyre modelling capabilities and the LMS Virtual.Lab Motion simulation software therefore offers a powerful and complete solution to simulate full-vehicle performance".
"The integrated solution delivers more reliable results, strongly reduces the required modelling iterations and dramatically reduces design processes".
Willy Bakkers, Vice-President and General Manager of the LMS CAE Division, concluded: "The partnership with TNO Automotive represents an important additional strength for our dynamic motion simulation solution".
"The tight integration of the TNO Tyre models in LMS Virtual.Lab Motion provides leading capabilities to realistically account for the contact of the vehicle with the road in the most diverse and extreme driving conditions".
