Construction of a parametrized tracked vehicle model and its simulation in MSC.ADAMS program

Abstract

The paper summarizes the methods of a tracked vehicles model construction in MSC.ADAMS program. Advantages and faults of these methods are described here. Finally, the authors describe one chosen method with exact elements geometry of the chosen real suspension parts. Basis on this method, a construction of the tracked vehicle model is described. Parts of this model are parameterized and can be fluently changed with usage of a dedicated user interface. Next, a part of the tracked vehicle simulation results is presented.
