Description

DRIVE simulates the behavior of cars during acceleration along their longitudinal plane of symmetry. The coupled

dynamics of sprung and unsprung masses consider vehicle vertical and horizontal relative motion and pitch. It carefully

models the driveline from the clutch to the tires, including the spring drive and gearbox. DRIVE is used by car and

system part manufacturers in the automotive industry. BENCH simulates vehicle and suspension dynamics during tests

on a shock absorber test bench. It simulates coupled dynamics of sprung and unsprung masses, and takes into accoun

chassis torsional and flexural stiffness and damping. Shock absorbers can have a nonlinear damping behavior. BENCH

makes it possible to introduce differences due to production tolerances and to detect out-of-tolerance components by

comparing numerical and experimental results. BENCH is primarily used by car or shock absorber manufacturers to tes

their products.

CLUTCH simulates dynamic temperatures and heat-flow among the main clutch elements, from experimental or

calculated friction-power input. For example, each temperature variable can correspond to temperature sensors used

during tests in order to be compared with experimental values. Friction power input signals are obtained from the

instrumentation placed on the vehicle during tests or you can calculate them using DRIVE.
CLUTCH-MECH simulates the dynamics of the main clutch elements as a function of experimental or assigned input

commands. It enables you to visualize calculated displacements, velocities, and exchanged forces at different elements

that make up single- or dual-disk clutches, as well as the transmitted torque. The program also accounts for wear effect

on different elements of the system, thus predicting clutch performance by different solutions for design or materials.

CONDIZ dynamically simulates an automotive air conditioning system by calculating the thermodynamic behavior of the

whole process made up of refrigeration system, inlet and delivery air ducts, and the passenger compartment. The

program provides indications about system performance and enables you to identify the most effective design and

temperature settings for controllers.

CARPET evaluates they dynamic behavior of automotive tires and simulates vehicle reverse dynamics. Starting from

the experimental time history of cinematic variables acquired from road tests, it calculates vehicle dynamic behavior.

Also included are toolboxes to analyze, post-process, and save simulation results. The product simulates vehicle

reverse dynamics, solving the system of linear equations of the "bicycle model." These products were developed with

MATLAB's built-in GUI tools. They provide user-friendly interfaces which do not require users to know MATLAB and

Simulink in detail.
