Hi! How do I simulate the tie rod forces on a steer-by-wire-system, when one single actuator is used per wheel?

The goal is to simulate the tie rod force for each wheel, without interference from the forces of the other wheel.
Does a steer-by-wire template exist for this purpose?
Is there any other way to simulate those forces?
 
Many thanks for your support!

  • Yes, a general contraint, GCON is probably the best choice.
    Assuming that markers Ms1 and Ms2 is used for the steering wheel rotational joint and Mt3 and Mt4 are used by the tie-rod translational joint, you should use an expression that should evaluate to zero at each time step.
    You can for example use an expression like
    DZ(Mt3,Mt4) - AZ(Ms1,Ms2)**3
    or even use a spline defining the relationship
    DZ(Mt3,Mt4) - AKISPL(AZ(Ms1,Ms2),0,Spline_steering)
