Workflow development of flex body dynamics for utility vehicle suspension system

Abstract

Suspension systems are essential components of any vehicle, providing support, stability, and comfort while adapting to various road conditions and loads. In utility vehicles, which are often used in off-road and heavy-duty applications, the suspension system plays an even more critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle and its occupants. Therefore, the design and optimization of utility vehicle suspension systems require advanced modeling and simulation tools that can capture the complex dynamics and interactions of the system components. The Suspension system is mounted on the frame through control arms. These control arms connects the vehicle frame and the tires. Suspension primary function is to maximize the performance of the vehicle and helps to absorb bumps in the road and provide a safe and comfortable ride.
