Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the snowmobile multi-body dynamic (MBD) model is presented. Mass reduction of the snowmobile parts is the important problem in the process of creating a new vehicle. It is important to determine loads to create rational designs of parts. There are various modeling methods for determining loads. More convenient method is using the MBD model. Research objective: development of the snowmobile MBD model, taking into account the main features of its design. It is possible to perform optimization and strength calculations of snowmobile parts using defined loads at early stages of the development.
