Vehicle Motion
R2026bUse the vehicle, motorcycle, and trailer body blocks to implement 1DOF, 3DOF, and 6DOF vehicle motion.
Blocks
 | Vehicle Body Total Road Load | Vehicle motion using coast-down testing coefficients |
 | Vehicle Body 1DOF Longitudinal | Two-axle vehicle in forward and reverse motion |
 | Vehicle Body 3DOF Longitudinal | 3DOF rigid vehicle body to calculate longitudinal, vertical, and pitch motion |
 | Vehicle Body 3DOF | 3DOF rigid vehicle body to calculate longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motion |
 | Vehicle Body 6DOF | Two-axle vehicle body with translational and rotational motion |
 | Vehicle Body 3DOF Three Axles | Three-axle vehicle body with longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motion |
 | Vehicle Body 6DOF Three Axles | Three-axle vehicle tractor body with translational and rotational motion |
 | Bicycle Model | Implement a single track 3DOF rigid vehicle body to calculate longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motion |
 | Trailer Body 3DOF | Trailer body with longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motion |
 | Trailer Body 6DOF | Trailer body with translational and rotational motion |
 | Motorcycle Body Longitudinal In-Plane | Longitudinal in-plane motorcycle vehicle motion |
 | Motorcycle Chain | Implement motorcycle chain |
Topics
