Moser, A.: The new multibody model in PC-Crash – Simulation and validation of single track vehicles
This paper presents the new multibody model in PC-Crash. Especially the new joint types are discussed (hinge joints, translatoric joints etc.). With these additional joints single track vehicles can be simulated at a high level of detail, gyroscopic effects due to spinning wheels and self-steering as well as suspension travel are taken into account.
The new single track vehicle model shows to be able to reproduce the specific behavior of movement of single track vehicles. Many different factors have to be taken into account to be able to model these effects in the simulation. These different factors are also discussed in the paper.
