OS-SL-T: 1010 Brake Squeal Analysis
This tutorial demonstrates the creation of finite elements on a given CAD geometry of a brake assembly.
Application of boundary conditions and a finite element analysis of the problem are explained. Post-processing tools are used to determine unstable modes produced during braking.
