Wheels and Tires

Wheels and tires with drum, disc, and mapped brakes

Use the model and wheel blocks in the vehicle model driveline subsystem. The blocks use the axle velocity and torque, tire parameters, and normal forces to calculate the wheel dynamics and forces acting on the vehicle axle. For the blocks, you can specify a drum, disc, or mapped brake.

Featured Examples

Constant Radius Reference Application

Simulate a full vehicle dynamics model undergoing a constant radius maneuver. Use for vehicle dynamics ride and handling analysis and chassis controls development, including the dynamic steering response.

Open Example

Double Lane Change Reference Application

Simulate a full vehicle dynamics model undergoing a double lane change maneuver standard ISO 3888-2. Use for vehicle dynamics ride and handling analysis and chassis controls development, including yaw stability and lateral acceleration limits.
