MF-Tyre/MF-Swift

MF-Tyre and MF-Swift are tyre modeling simulation tools designed to be coupled with multi-body analysis codes in order to introduce accurate tyre modeling into vehicle dynamics, handling and abuse simulations.

Tyres are an incredibly important part of the vehicle dynamics and handling system and these tools allow an engineer to accurately account for transient tyre response, loaded and effective rolling radius, obstacle enveloping and full 3D tyre dynamics.

Common areas of application

Current MF-Tyre/MF-Swift customers using the tools in the following areas of design:

  • Determining steady state and transient forces and moments
  • Flat road surface response
  • Vehicle handling simulations
  • Advanced road contact model and tyre dynamics
  • Uneven road surfaces
  • Ride comfort and durability simulations
  • Analysis of inflation pressure influence
  • Comfort analysis for standards tests such as AES bump
  • Full virtualisation of proving ground tests
