Modeling and Simulation of MacPherson Suspension Based on LMS Virtual.Lab Motion

Article Preview

Abstract:

A model of the Macpherson front suspension system assembly was built by using LMS Virtual.Lab Motion. The kinematics simulation for the Macpherson suspension was carried out under the simulation of parallel wheel travel. The result shows that the angles of toe, camber, castor all comply with the design requirements, but kingpin inclination angle and wheel track have a little big, it is necessary to further optimization and improvement.
