  • Anyone tested the RealTime Solver with their own models in A/Car ?

    I had the crazy idea to use the RT Solver to speed up a set of analysis (using FTire and dtout=1e-3 s) So I tested the MSC Demo vehicle for one typical case and found the benchmark time was 2:05 min for everything on default settings. …

  • How can I retrieve the current open model's variant using command language?

    I'm developing a macro that runs a combination of SPMM events, and I need the model name and variant of a currently open model. I know I can retrieve the model name via (EVAL(DB_DEFAULT(system_defaults, "model""), but I can't do the same to get the variant…
  • How to use local site solver with cosimulation?

    I'm trying to run a cosimulation with an A/Car model with Simulink as the master. My A/Car model use some subroutines that is included in our site solver, but the cosimulation use the standard solver. I have tried to use the "User Defined Library Name…
  • Does anyone still use interface parts with mass?

    In the distant past, Car models could define flexbody interface parts with mass properties. There's no user interface for such a use case, so we're considering dropping support for these in the subsystem file. Any objections?
  • How can I control the value of a "Parameter Variable" during the simulation?

    I need to control a parameter variable during the simulation. For example, when a state variable exceeds 1, the specified "Parameter Variable" is 1. On the other hand, when the state variable is lower than 1, the specified "Parameter Variable" should…
