Our Expertise
Vehicle Dynamics Modeling
Oklidis excels in capturing the intricate behavior of vehicles in motion. Whether you’re designing a cutting-edge sports car, an off-road vehicle, or an autonomous shuttle, our team possesses the expertise to create highly accurate and realistic vehicle dynamics models. We take into account factors such as suspension geometry, tire properties, chassis dynamics, and aerodynamics to create comprehensive models that drive innovation.
Suspension Modeling
Oklidis has a rich history of expertise in the modeling of vehicle suspensions. Our capabilities in suspension modeling encompass:
Suspension Geometry Analysis
We analyze and model suspension geometries, including various suspension types like double-wishbone, McPherson strut, multi-link, and more. This allows us to accurately represent the suspension system’s intricate design.
Suspension Dynamics
Our team considers factors such as spring rates, damping characteristics, and anti-roll bars to simulate how the suspension reacts to various road conditions, loads, and driving maneuvers. This provides valuable insights into ride comfort, handling, and stability.
Tire-Interaction Modeling
We specialize in capturing the complex interactions between the suspension and the tires, accounting for tire deformation, contact patch characteristics, and tire-road interaction forces. This holistic approach ensures that our suspension models accurately represent real-world behavior.
Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD)
We employ advanced multi-body dynamics simulations to model the entire vehicle, including the suspension system. This allows us to assess how different suspension designs affect the overall vehicle dynamics and performance.
Virtual Prototyping
Our virtual prototyping capabilities enable us to efficiently simulate and analyze various suspension configurations, reducing the need for physical prototypes and saving time and resources.
Tire Modeling
Tire modeling is a critical aspect of vehicle dynamics, and Oklidis has honed its skills in this area extensively
Tire Characterization
We have a comprehensive understanding of tire characteristics, including tire stiffness, slip angles, and lateral and longitudinal forces. Our models are built on accurate tire data obtained through rigorous testing and characterization.
Tire-Model Selection
Oklidis can select and develop appropriate tire models based on your project’s requirements. Whether you need a simple tire model for preliminary analysis or a highly detailed model for in-depth studies, we have the expertise to choose and customize the right solution.
Tire-Interaction Modeling
We specialize in capturing the complex interactions between the suspension and the tires, accounting for tire deformation, contact patch characteristics, and tire-road interaction forces. This holistic approach ensures that our suspension models accurately represent real-world behavior.
Tire Testing
We design and conduct tire testing to validate and refine our tire models, ensuring that our simulations closely match real-world tire behavior.
Tire Model Integration
Our team seamlessly integrates tire models into our overall vehicle dynamics simulations, allowing us to assess how different tires impact vehicle performance, handling, and ride comfort.
Tire Parameter Sensitivity Analysis
We perform sensitivity analyses to understand how changes in tire parameters affect vehicle behavior, helping you make informed design decisions.
