Chrono::Render – A Purpose Rendering Capability of Large-Scale Simulation Data
As simulations grow in complexity the data extracted from the model grows in size. For engineers and scientists, it is difficult and tedious to gain meaningful insights for large data sets; hence visualization becomes critical …
Terramechanics Methods for Real-Time, Off-Road Vehicle Mobility Simulation on Deformable Terrain
By extending semi-analytical Terramechanics methods for general three-dimensional tire and terrain geometries and combining it with a deformable compaction-based terrain model, general purpose tire/terrain mobility scenarios can be simulated. A vertical application was then created …
Compaction-Based Terrain Model for Soft Soil Off-Road Vehicle Mobility Simulations
In an effort to support general 3-D vehicle mobility on non-flat terrain, CHRONO::Terrain is a deformable terrain database system that allows for the terrain surface to be described on both macro- and micro-scale resolutions. Inspired …
Implementation of an Index-3 Differential-Algebraic Equation Solver on Parallel Architecture
The Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation (ANCF) has been widely used to carry out the dynamics analysis of flexible bodies that undergo large rotation and large deformation. This formulation is consistent with the nonlinear theory of …
