Kinematics of the wheel body and forces are reported in the Motion Postprocessor as shown in the table below.
Figure 6.60: Definition of Tire outputs
Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension |
Tire_Force/Longitudinal |
![]() | The longitudinal force applied on the wheel at the contact point. This force is defined in Tire Force for FIALA type. | Force |
Tire_Force/Lateral |
![]() | The lateral force applied on the wheel at the contact point. This force is defined in Tire Force for FIALA type. | Force |
Tire_Force/Vertical |
![]() | The vertical force applied on the wheel at the contact point. This force is defined in Tire Force for FIALA type. | Force |
Tire_Torque/Overturning |
![]() | The overturning moment applied on the wheel at the contact point. This force is zero for FIALA type. | Force*Length |
