Body Compliance

The body compliance is modeled in the body template like Rigid Chassis Two Body provided in the acar_concept database. It allows you to set compliance between front and rear body parts.

The parameter variable pvs_body_compliance is used to define which type of compliance is active between two bodies. Where, '1', '2', '3' are mapped to Torsion Only, Torsion and Lateral Bending, Torsion and Vertical and Lateral Bending respectively. It is used to activate appropriate groups created for the body compliance.

Torsion Only represents the two body parts are connected with a revolute joint. Torsion and Lateral Bending represents the two body parts are connected with a universal joint. Torsion and Vertical and Lateral Bending represents the two body parts are connected with a spherical joint. In above three cases a bushing with the rotational stiffness values are used to model the compliance.
