The Vehicle Dynamics Library: New Concepts and New Fields of Application

Abstract

The Vehicle Dynamics Library is a commercial Modelica library for vehicle dynamics applications. This paper highlights recent development with focus on extended usability. Key changes are improved interoperability with other tools, improved simula- tion performance, extended vehicle system simula- tion, and expanded analysis. Examples are given from efficient simulation of drivelines, development of active safety systems, and quasi-steady-state anal- ysis, among others.
