57.2. Problem Description

A 2D axisymmetric tire geometry with an axisymmetric tread pattern is considered, as are the rim and road geometries:

If using the mesh-independent method to generate reinforcing, line geometries representing the reinforcing locations are also required.

A tire-performance simulation typically has the following general workflow:
