Vehicles, Motorcycles, and Trailers

Virtual Vehicle Composer, vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers with 1DOF, 3DOF, and 6DOF motion

To implement 1DOF, 3DOF, and 6DOF vehicle motion in your model, use the vehicle, motorcycle, and trailer body blocks.

Use the Virtual Vehicle Composer app to configure and build a virtual vehicle that you can use for system-level performance analysis, including ride and handling evaluation, chassis controls development, software integration testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. To get started with your virtual vehicle, see Get Started with the Virtual Vehicle Composer.
