A multi-body simulation study was undertaken to investigate the running behavior of a rail grinder vehicle with newly developed Ganz bogies. The main purpose of the simulations was to forecast and support the vehicle acceptance tests and support the ongoing development. A multi-body model was built in Simpack and the most critical force elements were isolated and validated by tests. Derailment safety was assessed based on both European and Australian standards. The vehicle's running stability was carried out for both standard (1435mm) and broad gauge (1676mm) versions. Vehicle sway characteristics were determined through the calculation of flexibility coefficient both numerically and analytically. A parametric study for primary vertical damper was undertaken to assess the empirically selected dampers and optimize the performance. The results show that the damping coefficient can be greatly reduced while maintaining acceptable running behavior, thus the lifetime of dampers can be increased. Based on stability investigations, yaw damper installation is not necessary, though the bracketry for the possibility of later installation will remain on the prototype bogie. ; En flerkroppssimulering genomfördes med hjälp av Simpack med syfte att undersöka gångegenskaperna hos ett järnvägsslipfordon, med boggi som nyligen utvecklats av Ganz. Huvudsyftet bakom simuleringarna var att förutspå - och underlätta godkännandet av fordonets acceptanskrav samt underlätta pågående utveckling. En flerkroppsmodell konstruerades och de mest kritiska kraftbärande elementen undersöktes - och verifierades separat med hjälp av tester. Säkerhetsaspekterna kring urspårning undersöktes utifrån både europeiska och australiska standarder. Fordonets gångstabilitet bedömdes med både standard - samt bred spårviddsvarianter. Fordonets svängningsegenskaper bestämdes genom att genomföra beräkningar av flexibilitetskonstanten både numeriskt och analytiskt. En parameterstudie genomfördes för fordonets primära vertikala dämpare med avsikt att evaluera ...
