How reliable is CarMaker for tire grip and friction testing?

Vehicle Modelling Tyres
1

Hello everyone,

I am new to CarMaker and I am currently invistigating the following topics:

  1. How reliable is CarMaker’s friction model for accurately simulating tire-road interaction?
  2. Has anyone validated CarMaker’s grip simulation against real-world test data?
  3. How well does CarMaker handle low-friction conditions (e.g., wet roads, ice, gravel)?
  4. Are they any use cases related to this topic that I can check ?

If you have any experience with tire modeling, slip angle estimation, or friction testing in CarMaker, I would love to hear your expertises.

Thanks in advance !
