2-Post K&C Test - Front Rack Steering

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what exactly SWIFT Tire is using.

But what you see is a result of a child variable in the tire-ude called rpf_file

For a poster-analysis it's set to "BEDPLATE".

For an FTire you can have a moving road basically via a roadfile containing the poster translation or via a moving part in ADAMS where the "roadfile" is attached to.

In our case it's the contour of the poster plate.

And maybe you'll get away without any own testrig: We had an application where the steering rod forces for parking were required. 

First shot was a full vehicle run by a driver-xml created by the event-builder (vehicle in neutral, velocity = 0, no throtte, steering = step from ... to ... ) on a flat road with the required friction value.

Later on it turned out that they needed something more parametric, so I created a steering-testrig and some macro/dialog box for that special application.

Thanks for the reply martin,

In 2 post there is a point contact btw wheel and table. so i've created a single component torque force to represent aligning torque btw the two which is a function of tire pressure, axle load, cfactor via macros/dialog command navigator box. Now I am getting the torque values on the steering wheel around 35-40 Nm for an 700kg Axle load.(EPS OFF). 

On the contrary i am also checking the same results with full vehicle analysis (parking effort-as you've suggested above) lets see what we get out of that.
