This invention provides a rapid modeling method and terminal for variable cross-section leaf springs used in light trucks, relating to the field of light
truck technology. The method involves calculating the geometric contours of each
leaf spring in its extended state, selecting sample points at equal intervals along the length of each
leaf spring in its extended state, and calculating the sample
point data including coordinates and thickness. The method then calculates the geometric contours of each
leaf spring in its
free state. Based on the
free state of each leaf spring, sample points are reselected, and corresponding sample
point data is obtained through interpolation and exported. A leaf spring modeling file and an
assembly parameter file are created. The sample
point data of each leaf spring in its
free state are imported into the leaf spring modeling file, and the leaf spring
assembly parameters are imported into the
assembly parameter file. The leaf spring
toolbox is run to generate the leaf spring model, defining the leaf spring lugs and material properties to create the leaf spring model. This method uses a
procedural approach, which can quickly and accurately calculate the sample point data of the variable cross-section leaf spring, improving the efficiency of leaf spring modeling and the accuracy of model creation.
