Methodology for virtual analysis of dynamic behavior for tubes and flexible hoses associated with suspension kinematics

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Nowadays the automotive market is reducing product development time and launching more technological vehicles, always focusing on having even more safety with better customer experience which generates big competitiveness and requires more accurate and faster development, the virtual simulations make it possible to meet this new reality with a high confidence level.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This work comprises the validation of a methodology to analyze the design confidence level for flexibles associated with suspension kinematics. To validate the methodology, the scanned physical model was compared with the virtual simulations using the <i>Simcenter 3D Flexible Pipe</i> software.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">As inputs data for simulation, it is used geometrical, physical, and chemical information.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Through the suspension kinematics study was establish possible movement situations to obtain the flexibles deformations attending to all suspension positions.</div></div>
