The paper presents a technique for integrating three-dimensional solid-state models developed in the CAD SolidWorks environment into the MATLAB/Simulink dynamic modeling environment. A key element of the research is the use of the Simscape Multibody module to transform geometric data and kinematic relationships into a multi-mass dynamic model. The technique has been tested using the example of creating a virtual prototype of a steering wheel platform.

The paper considers simulation models of the adaptive tire pressure control system, the calculation of the rollover coefficient and the magnitude of the lateral deflection of tractor wheels in the MathLab Simulink environment; it is revealed that compensation of the angle of lateral slope by changing the suspension height has a more effective effect on ensuring a rational wheel deflection angle and the rollover coefficient than reducing the center of mass.

Keywords: surface with a transverse slope, roll angle, rollover coefficient, wheel deflection angle, steeply inclined tractor
