OptimumKinematics Forces Module is a new add-on that lets you calculate forces on suspension components

Simulate and analyze the forces acting on a vehicle's suspension system under various conditions. By accurately modeling these forces, optimize suspension geometry for improved performance, handling, and ride comfort. Enjoy advanced features such as kinematic analysis, force calculations, and visualization tools to help you make informed design decisions.

With OptimumKinematics Forces Module you can

Define input load cases.
Simulate the front and rear suspension for any combination of forces and moments, which can be applied either at the contact patch or at wheel centers.

Combine force and motion inputs.
Simulate forces and moments inputs at any heave, roll, pitch, and steering configuration.

Analyze results.
Output channels include forces and moments reactions at every suspension pick-up point. You can easily export these results as tables, and use them as inputs in FEA software.

Supported Suspensions:

  • Double A-Arm
  • MacPherson
  • MacPherson Pivot Arm
  • MacPherson Independent Arms
  • Five Links
  • Semi-trailing Arm
  • Live Axle Panhard Bar
  • Live Axle Watt's Linkage

Supported Actuations

  • No Actuation
  • Direct Coilover
  • Separate Spring/Dampers
  • Push/Pull
  • Torsion Bar
  • Torsion 3rd Spring
  • MonoSchock Rotational
  • MonoSchock Slider
  • Push/Pull with 3rd Spring
  • Push/Pull with 3rd Spring chassis constrained

Supported Anti Roll Bar

  • No ARB
  • U-Bar
  • U-Bar with Rocker
  • T-Bar
  • T-Bar with rocker and 3rd spring
  • T-Bar and 3rd spring

Supported Steering System

  • Rack and Pinion
  • Recirculating ball

All the supported systems can be created in OptimumKinematics. The user can analyze front or rear suspension independently or together.
