Three-Dimensional Virtual Design and Simulation Analysis of Dual-Side-Load Trailer

Abstract

Based on virtual modeling technology and multi-body dynamics theory, three-dimensional virtual design and dynamics simulation was completed in this paper. Basic flow and general method of layout design of product using of 3D computer aided design software was presented. The frame model of layout was completed based on the structure and performance requirements of the dual-side-load trailer and 3D software’s CAD technology including parametric and variational technology and top-down design method. Based on the frame model, the layout design of the trailer was completed and the three-dimensional digital model was established. Took the lifting mechanism of the trailer as an example, based on its structure and operation principle, kinematics and dynamics simulation to each of the typical operation processes was completed.
