Accurately represent tire performance to predict important vehicle aspects such as directional stability, braking distance and ride comfort. Simcenter Tire helps you effectively and precisely model highly non-linear tire characteristics so you can analyze vehicle behavior better and earlier.
Understand tire forces and moments
Modeling tire performance requires significant expertise and specialization. Simcenter Tire gives you a suite of tools to accurately represent tire forces and moments so they can be propagated to a variety of popular vehicle performance simulation tools.
Implement the global standard for the Pacejka Magic Formula
Simcenter Tire MF-Tyre accurately simulates steady-state and transient behavior up to 8Hz for handling, control prototyping and ADAS analyses. Simcenter Tire MF-Tyre is the only Magic-Formula-based tire model that is available in all major vehicle dynamic simulation packages, allowing in- and intercompany standardization.
Analyze all vehicle dynamics using an all-in-one tire model
Simcenter Tire MF-Swift extends Simcenter Tire MF-Tyre with turn slip modeling, tire belt dynamics and generic 3D obstacle enveloping for parking, ride comfort, road load prediction and vibration analysis. The modular setup helps you adapt model complexity to the engineering problem. Simcenter Tire MF-Swift is the fastest tire model on the market for 3D uneven road simulations.
User-friendly tire model parameter identification from measured data
Easily convert measured data into parameters for use with Simcenter Tire models using a user-friendly tire parameter identification tool that includes data visualization, database functionality and advanced estimation capabilities. Simcenter MF-Tool helps you visualize, tune and modify tire models as well as study the effects of changing tire conditions such as tire inflation pressure, stiffness, friction levels, by the automatic scaling of tire properties.
Measure tire performance for many road surface types
In addition to software, Siemens can help you measure physical tire performance. The Simcenter test trailer is an on-road test laboratory that is specifically designed to measure the forces and moments a tire yields when on the road in various situations, such as dry, wet, snow and icy road conditions.
Easily access high-quality tire model parameter sets for vehicle dynamics simulations
Check out the Tire Model Marketplace, an online store where you can find off-the-shelf, non-exclusive tire model parameter sets (TIR files) for use in vehicle dynamics simulations.
