Due to their power density, recirculating-ball power steering systems with hydraulic support are installed in commercial vehicles. To simulate the loads necessary for designing the steering system, a model of the overall system comprising the dynamic vehicle and steering system is needed. In this paper, a hydraulic recirculating-ball power steering system is modeled with SimulationX and, using the FMI, coupled with a SIMPACK vehicle model to create a simulation of the overall vehicle. This integrated simulation enables to analyze, for example, the influence of hydraulic components and parameters (valve characteristic, oil feed, hoses) on the overall vehicle behavior.
When talking, not the number
but the usefulness of the words is important.
