In this post, I will talk about simulating mechanical contact with Simulink®, Simscape™, and Simscape Multibody™.
Motivation
Modeling mechanical contact can be… read more >>

“Effectively comparing vehicle concepts is crucial to design winning racecars. For that, we* have set-up a lap time simulation based on tire test data and a two track model in Simulink. This allows us […] to model different vehicle concepts on various tracks and evaluate the performance.”
I probably can’t say… read more >>

During preparation for a video podcast episode I asked Lars, my co-host, to summarize the benefits of the MATLAB Live Editor in a single phrase. He seemed to be expecting this one and replied: “Christoph, it is actually a new way of coding, because it includes the output of an… read more >>

With this post, let me talk about 3D multibody simulation and specifically focus on getting CAD data into a simulation environment.
Motivation
Vehicle dynamics engineers want to simulate dynamic behavior of their suspension designs during early stages of development. They may ask questions such as “Can we keep the roll center between certain… read more >>
