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!

  • I am sure that such a template exists, but not in the shared database. So you have to build the template yourself.
    It all depends on how your topology is and how detailed you want to do it. Some examples
    Level low: On each tie rod you have two parts connected by a translation joint. You have a simple gear/coupler from the steering wheel to the displacement of these joints (one gear/coupler per side).
    Level high: build a control system that measure the angle of the steering wheel and from that and the current angles of the wheels calculates an error. Using for example a PID controller (one for each side), you get a force that can be applied to each side.
