提出了一种基于UG构建双横臂独立悬架运动学分析系统的方法,并应用该方法开发出了相应的原型系统,给出了系统的框架结构。系统的快速参数化设计模块可方便、快捷地对双横臂悬架运动仿真模型的结构参数、几何参数和定位参数进行修改;系统的运动学仿真分析模块通过调用UG/Motion集成的MSC ADAMS或Function Bay RecurDyn解算器来获取仿真分析结果,通过集成Matlab的绘图功能对分析结果进行输出查看;以前轮定位参数的变化量最小、车轮侧向滑移量最小为优化目标,采用遗传算法构建了系统的悬架机构结构参数优化设计模块。通过一个设计实例验证了系统的正确性及基于遗传算法的结构参数优化设计模块的有效性。系统的框架结构具有良好的可扩展性,已在麦弗逊悬架的优化设计过程中得到应用。
A construction method for kinematics analysis system of the double-wishbone independent suspension based on UG software was proposed.The corresponding software prototype system using this method was developed and the frame structure of the system had been given account.Using the fast parameterized design function module of the system,the structure and geometric parameters of the double-wishbone suspension mechanism's simulation models could be rapid and convenient edited.By calling the MSC ADAMS or RecurDyn solver,which is integrated in UG/Motion,the kinematics simulation and analysis function module of the system could get the simulation results.The simulation results could be inspected using the drawing function of Matlab,which is integrated in this function module.Taking the minimum variation of the front wheel alignment parameters,minimum lateral displacement of the tires as the optimal object,the optimization design function module of suspension's the structural parameters was constructed based on genetic algorithm.The correctness and the validity of the system and its function modules were verified by a design example.The frame structure of the system had good scalability and had been used in the optimum design of McPherson suspension.
