Tyre modelling has come a long way from just representing tyre data obtained from mathematical representation limited to static conditions. A testimony to it being more dynamic today than ever before is the proprietary software platform ‘MeshWorks’ from Detroit Engineered Products (DEP). MeshWorks is claimed to enable a technologically superior tyre modelling technique for motorcycle tyres, passenger car tyres, and offroad tyres. Through hex meshing, a complex but standard collection of cubes, concept designs are used to analyse geographical and cartographic data. The latter is known to study the rules of the spatial arrangement of phenomena and their interrelationships, dependence, and development. According to Basant Sharma, Vice President, DEP, it is a tedious and time-consuming process to mesh or model the complexity of tyre geometry. Especially the treads. Of the opinion that the time spent to model tyre treads constituting the little grooves and ridges, crucial to braking and safe manoeuvring is directly responsible for the end quality. It also results in better simulation and comparison against the real-world scenario, he explained. He cites the amount of time a user can spend is usually very limited, and thus any automation in modelling and meshing are always welcome.
