This paper aims at getting a way to obtain the suitable track tension by analyzing a heavy tracked vehicles driving prototype which is consisted of the sprocket and the meshing tracks. First, by analyzing the force state in the driving part in the multi-body dynamics simulation tool: RecurDyn, a critical condition to judge the peel-off of tracks in heavy tracked vehicle is proposed. Second, by comparing the different models built in RecurDyn, an ideal track distribution around the sprocket is obtained and also the relationship between the driving torque and the track tension under that ideal situation is concluded. Third, basing on the data from the simulation, the force state of each track meshed with the sprocket is analyzed, and an assumption about the proportion between each tracks upper and bottom pulling force is proposed.
