The article deals with the calculation of stiffness of a secondary suspension spring built in a bogie of a rail vehicle with a tilting car body. The vertical stiffness of the springs was calculated using the ANSYS program. The results were compared with calculated values afterwards. The lateral stiffness was evaluated in a similar manner. Analyt-ical method by Gross, Wahl, Budrick, Timoshenko and Ponomarieva was used for comparison with numerical values. The ANSYS simulation was performed for calculating the vertical stiffness of the triple springs. The most suitable analytical method is a method by Timoshenko and Ponomarieva, where the percentage difference was the smallest. The obtained data will be used as an input for the design of coil springs which will be implemented in a model of a vehicle with a tilting car body, for which the comfort values during transition in curve will eventually be determined.
