Vehicle Dynamics Blockset Project Templates

Vehicle Dynamics Blockset™ provides preassembled vehicle dynamics models that you can use to analyze the dynamic system response to common ride and handling tests. Use the templates to create vehicle dynamic model variants for the maneuver reference applications. Open project files that contain the vehicle models from the Simulink^® start page.

1. In Simulink, on the Simulation tab, select New > Project > New Project.

   In the Simulink start page, browse to Vehicle Dynamics Blockset and select Passenger 3DOF Vehicle, Passenger 7DOF Vehicle, or Passenger 14DOF Vehicle.

2. In the Create Project dialog box, in Project name, enter a project name.

3. In Folder, enter a project folder or browse to the folder to save the project.

4. Click OK.

   If the folder does not exist, the dialog box prompts you to create it. Click Yes.

   The software compiles the project and populates the project folders. All models and supporting files are in place for you to customize your vehicle dynamics model.

This table summarizes the vehicle dynamics project templates.
