Specify Virtual Vehicle Test Plan
Before you build your virtual vehicle, you need to assemble your test plan. Go to the Configure section, click Scenario and Test, and select the test scenarios in this pane.
You can select two main types of test scenarios: drive cycles and vehicle performance and handling maneuvers. The available scenarios depend on the Vehicle class and Vehicle dynamics settings you chose.
For a Passenger vehicle
, if
you set Vehicle dynamics to Longitudinal vehicle
dynamics
, you can select:
Standard drive cycles from industry agencies and institutions. The default selection is the
FTP75
drive cycle. Certain drive cycles, such asJC08
andCUEDC
, prescribe gear shift schedules.A
Wide Open Throttle
(WOT) maneuver, setting parameters such as nominal reference speed and simulation time.
For a Passenger vehicle
, if you set Vehicle
dynamics to Combined longitudinal and lateral vehicle
dynamics
, you can select maneuvers for straight-line performance, and for
vehicle handling and stability:
Increasing Steer
Swept Sine
Sine with Dwell
Fishhook
Wide Open Throttle
For a Motorcycle
, if you set
Vehicle dynamics to In-plane motorcycle
dynamics
, you can select:
Standard drive cycles from industry agencies and institutions. The default selection is the
FTP75
drive cycle. Certain drive cycles, such asJC08
andCUEDC
, prescribe gear shift schedules.
For a Motorcycle
, if you set Vehicle
dynamics to Out-of-plane motorcycle dynamics
, you
can select maneuvers for vehicle handling and stability:
Steady Turning
Handle Hit
If you want to run your virtual vehicle in the Unreal Engine® 3D simulation environment, set 3D Scene Selection to
3D Scene
. For hardware requirements, see Unreal Engine Simulation Environment Requirements and Limitations.
