Configure Virtual Vehicle Scenario and Test

Step 3 of 7 in Get Started with the Virtual Vehicle Composer

Before completing this step, see Configure Virtual Vehicle Data.

Next, use the Scenario and Test options to configure virtual vehicle test scenario. The available options depend on the virtual vehicle Powertrain architecture and Model template parameter settings.

If you set Scenario to Drive Cycle, you can use:

• Drive cycles from predefined sources. By default, the block includes the FTP–75 drive cycle. To install additional drive cycles from a support package, see Support Package for Maneuver and Drive Cycle Data. The support package has drive cycles that include the gear shift schedules, for example, JC08 and CUEDC.

• Workspace variables that define your own drive cycles.

• .mat, .xls, .xlsx, or .txt files.

• Wide open throttle (WOT) parameters, including initial and nominal reference speed, deceleration start time, and final reference speed.

For this example, run the virtual vehicle through the FTP75 drive cycle. On the Scenario and Test tab, set:

1. Scenario to Drive Cycle.

2. Drive cycle to FTP75.

3. Click Add to Test Plans.

After completing this step, see Configure Virtual Vehicle Data Logging.
