The invention discloses a six-degree-of-freedom
simulation method of a tracked vehicle. The six-degree-of-freedom
simulation method of the tracked vehicle includes the steps that first, three-
dimensional modeling is conducted on a three-dimensional
terrain grid and the tracked vehicle through three-
dimensional modeling software in advance; then, the shape of the upper portion of the tracked vehicle is simplified to be a BOX
rigid body object, and a track of the vehicle is simplified to be a plurality of vehicle wheels; the height of each vehicle wheel can be determined in real time according to the
terrain triangular facet and the positions where the vehicle wheels make contact with the
terrain; a six-ball
collision detection method is adopted, so that the
slant angle of the
rigid body plane on the upper portion of the tracked vehicle is obtained; at last, the position and the posture formula of a
rigid body on the upper portion of the vehicle are given, and accordingly the displacement and the course angle of the tracked vehicle are determined. The six-degree-of-freedom
simulation method of the tracked vehicle can be used for six-degree-of-freedom simulation of tracked vehicle equipment such as a tank, an
excavator and a bulldozer, has the advantages of being small in calculation, simple in simulation method, vivid in simulated effect and the like, and is suitable for simulated training products like
engineering machines and military armored vehicles and the fields of product demonstration
verification, propagandizing and popularizing and the like, thereby having huge application value.
