Kinematic model of the suspension of an electric car

Abstract

The purpose of the work considered in this article is to develop approaches and methods for designing an electric vehicle from the concept phase to production based on the use of digital simulation. In this study, calculations were performed using the calculation of the kinematic model of the electric car suspension and CAE. Based on the results of the calculations and their compliance with the matrix of targets and resource constraints, the geometry of the suspension parts was changed during the study. For each of the iterations of the geometry, the types and materials were selected for the subsequent production of electric car suspension parts. The application of the above-mentioned approach from the earliest stages of work allowed us not only to achieve the required criteria for the mechanical characteristics of the structure, but also to comply with the conditions for reducing the development time, the cost of production and improving its quality.
