Does your simulation use rolling wheels?

But of course.


If so, have you tried if there are some differences between smoth hubcaps or steel/aluminum standard wheels?

No. We are running full skirts on the tractor and the trailer and Aero hub caps on the steering axle.


Do you think to test some rubber mudflaps versus some king of ecoflaps (Eco-Flaps) ?

We use vflaps on the tractor and the trailer. www.vflaps.com


How much time did the simulation last?

Iterations: 215
CPU time: 6301 s



In what machine?

Custom
8 Processors Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
Memory 12279 MB / 8388607 MB
Operating system (Build 7600)
CAD version SolidWorks 2011 SP1.0

Thanks for sharing your work?

You're welcome.


I'm sorry about too much questions.

Never feel sorry for asking too many questions. Feel sorry for not asking enough questions.
