How to model a Toe Correcting Bushing in Adams?

Hi, I am Adrián Ros Garcia, a vehicle dynamics engineer from Applus+ IDIADA.

We are currently modeling a rear twist-beam suspension, and we are thinking about implementing a Toe Correcting Bushing in the trailing arm of the twist-beam to avoid rear axle oversteer when a lateral force is applied at the wheels during cornering.

We are not sure about how to implement this in ADAMS, and we would really appreciate some help.
Has anyone done this before or has any ideas on how to proceed?

Best regards,
Adrián

Hi Adrián,

Have a look at the banana shape springs. you can use a VForce

Adams Basic Package > Adams View > View Function Builder > Run-Time Functions > Functions: N - Z > Three-component Force (VFORCE)
