RecurDyn offers two Toolkits that are completely dedicated to tracked vehicles.
The first is dedicated to low mobility (i.e. low-speed) vehicles, whereas the second is dedicated to high mobility (i.e. high-speed) vehicles.
In this example, a tracked bulldozer was simulated to evaluate the dynamic behavior of the vehicle on different terrains and with different obstacles. The model can also be used to calculate the loads operating on the vehicle’s structure, and to analyze the forces acting between the links in detail. The Toolkit contains several components which can be automatically included in the model and then personalized based on the user’s data.
The RecurDyn solver offers unparalleled performance when solving these kinds of problems, delivering reliable results in a short time.
CASE STUDY
The article describes a study on the behaviour of a vertical-axis washing machine's hydraulic balancer, which is a critical component that helps to balance the load during the spinning phase of the washing cycle. The study was conducted by SPM, a company that specializes in dynamic analysis, to confirm a hypothesis that the flexibility of the tub was causing the imbalance and to validate a proposed modification to stiffen the structure.
