FEA software for airspring

[candychan]

Hello,everyone

I am analysing the static character of airspring with ANSYS and ABAQUS,the job is exhausting while the result is not satisfying.so I am looking for a more professional software to solve this problem more efficient and accurate.
I will very appreciate if anyone could give me some imformation for such kind of software.

Have a nice day.

Firestone gave a presentation at the ABAQUS users' conference about modelling air springs in ABAQUS. Use a stable rubber model and hydrostatic fluid elements for the air cavity.
