Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Skill

Purpose

Provide deep integration with vehicle dynamics simulation tools for comprehensive handling, ride comfort, and stability analysis across various driving conditions.

Capabilities

• Adams/Car, CarSim, IPG CarMaker model setup
• Suspension kinematics and compliance (K&C) analysis
• Tire model configuration (MF-Tyre, FTire, CDTire)
• Handling metrics calculation (understeer gradient, yaw gain)
• Ride comfort analysis (ISO 2631 comfort metrics)
• Stability control system simulation
• Driver model configuration and tuning
• Maneuver library execution (ISO lane change, steady-state cornering)

Usage Guidelines

• Validate tire models against available test data before simulation
• Use appropriate road profiles for ride comfort analysis
• Configure driver models based on intended use case (normal, aggressive)
• Apply standard maneuvers for objective handling assessment
• Correlate simulation results with physical testing
• Document vehicle parameters and model assumptions

Dependencies

• Adams/Car
• CarSim
• IPG CarMaker
• dSPACE ASM
