Import of a steady-state rolling tire

This example illustrates the use of the results transfer capability in Abaqus to import results from an Abaqus/Standard steady-state transfer analysis to Abaqus/Explicit to simulate transient rolling.

Examples of loading during transient rolling include impact of a tire with an obstacle or vehicle acceleration. This problem analyzes the impact of a tire with a curb. Because of the small stable time increment necessary for the explicit dynamic procedure and the large time scales involved in simulating quasi-static and steady-state loading, simulating quasi-static inflation loading and steady-state rolling in Abaqus/Standard provides significant cost savings over performing these simulations in Abaqus/Explicit. Moreover, the cost to obtain a steady-state rolling simulation in Abaqus/Explicit increases with rolling speed, whereas in Abaqus/Standard the cost is independent of the magnitude of the rolling speed.
