Wheel

From UnityCar Wiki

This class simulates the dynamics of the wheel (tire and rim). Parameters:

• Model Graphical representation of the whole wheel.

• Caliper Model Graphical representation of the brake caliper.

• Tire Puncture if true, a tire puncture is simulated (tire grip is lowered by half and wheel radius is lowered by sidewall height).

• On Ground Down (READ ONLY) if true, it means that the wheel is touching the ground.

• Mass mass of the whole wheel (tire + rim) in Kg. Used to calculate wheel rotational inertia. Typical value 25 Kg (to avoid wheel oscillations with standard time step minimum value is clamped to 60 kg).

• Radius radius of the wheel in meters. Typical value 0.37 meters.

• Rim Radius radius of the wheel rim in meters. Typical value 0.25 meters.

• Width width of the wheel in meters. Typical value 0.2 meters.

• Brake Friction Torque (READ ONLY) actual brake friction torque applied on the wheel.

• Brake (READ ONLY) brake input applied on the wheel.

• Hand Brake (READ ONLY) hand brake input applied on the wheel.

• Steering (READ ONLY) steering input applied on the wheel.

• Compression (READ ONLY) compression state of the suspension wheel.

• Normal Force (READ ONLY) normal force applied to the wheel.
