Advanced Tire Models

With over 15 years of experience in the tire and vehicle simulation industries, Stackpole Engineering Services has utilized many of the commercially available tire models. Through our extensive work in professional racing and specialty vehicle applications, SES quickly discovered that commercially available tire models did not adequately characterize tire handling and durability performance to our standards. Through a comprehensive tire testing and model validation program with several key racing and off-road partners, Stackpole Engineering Services developed a proprietary suite of custom tire models that are currently used worldwide in a variety of markets, including Professional Oval and Road Racing programs, Military, Off-Road, OEM Passenger Vehicle, Medium Truck, Heavy Truck and other specialty applications.

Key SES Custom Tire Model Features:

  • Advanced tire kinematics
  • Dynamic force and moment characteristics
  • Custom equations for
    • Lateral Force
    • Aligning Torque
    • Overturning Moment
    • Longitudinal Force
    • Rolling Resistance
    • Dynamic Spring rate
    • Dynamic Loaded Radius
    • Effective Circumference
    • Combined Drive/Brake
  • Full transient capabilities including frequency dependency.
  • Custom tire optimization process for real-time post processing

Stackpole Engineering Services has developed specialized versions of SES Tire that are available for license in many commercial simulation programs as well as stand-alone customer developed applications. Tire model formats include:

  • Stand-alone dll format for use with customer internal applications
  • MSC/ADAMS™
  • VI-CarRealTime™
  • Milliken LTS™
  • MATLAB/Simulink™
  • C++, VB .NET, FORTRAN
