Post-Processing RMOD-K Tire Graphics

Models will animate in HyperView version 10.0 and later, however the tire model and the road surface will not display in the animation. Forces at the wheel/hub interface can be displayed and will provide a good representation of how the tire behaves. Animating the forces will help you understand the tire vehicle behavior.
Note: Advanced tire animations of the tread/road behavior and the forces at the tire patch will be added in future releases of HyperWorks.
Tire Carcass behavior along with detailed tire patch information can be animated using the FlexView Utility that is available with the RMOD-K installation (see the examples below):
