The 4th FTire User Meeting at fka in Aachen is the ideal platform for all users and developers to get together and discuss their experiences related to all kinds of FTire applications in the CAE process chain, the implementation in HiL test rigs as well as latest findings from automotive research projects or FTire interfacing with third party simulation environments.
The program this year includes among others lectures from cosin, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Hyundai. » Register now for an exciting meeting.
FTire is one of the most common tire models. It is designed for vehicle comfort simulations on road irregularities even with extremely short wave-lengths. At the same time, it can serve as a physically based, highly nonlinear and dynamic tire model for handling characteristics under the above mentioned excitation conditions. In contrast to other widely used tire models, FTire explains most of the complex tire phenomena on a mechanical basis – and not merely by mathematical description of measured characteristics.
Join us on September 11th and 12th at the meeting and link in to exciting lectures and discussions with experts about current needs and experiences as well as future usage profiles and trends!
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Aachen in September!
