The Tire Patch Point Manager is invoked by clicking the icon, which opens the Manage Tire Patch Points dialog. This dialog allows you to:
• | Create a plot and .dmig file from the CDTire parameter file, which can be used as a representation file for tires. |
• | Create defined tire patch points that will be automatically used in setting up input or constraints to the tire patch points in an NVH analysis. |
By default, four tire patch point sets are listed in the dialog. To define tire patch points for a set, highlight the row corresponding to the set, and then click the icon, which opens the Define Tire Patch Points dialog. Then click the icon, which opens the Select Tagpoint Metawidget dialog, and select a module with tagpoints in it. To delete a tire patch point, highlight the row corresponding to the tire patch point, and then click the icon. When completed, click Update to save changes made to tire patch points or click Cancel to discard changes made since the last update, and exit the dialog.
To select tire patch points as the active tire patch points, highlight the appropriate rows and click Select.
