Hi, thanks for all your reply! My tire is a self-designed deformable tire like a LRV tire, not a rubber tire. And I want to test its deformation characteristics on each part during motion. So I think ANCF shell may not be a good choice. As Dr. Radu suggested, can I partition my tire into a mesh that supports FSI to enable simulation using Abaqus?
