Virtual Vehicle Model Template

Use the Virtual Vehicle Composer app to build a virtual passenger vehicle model template. The model template is a Simulink^® model that incorporates the vehicle architecture and parameters that you specified in the app. For more information on using the app to build the virtual vehicle model template, see Get Started with Virtual Vehicle Composer.

The virtual vehicle model template options and settings depend on the available products and vehicle configuration. For more information, see Product and Configuration Dependencies for Virtual Vehicle Composer.

Note

The virtual vehicle model template options and settings depend on the available products and vehicle configuration. For more information, see Product and Configuration Dependencies for Virtual Vehicle Composer.

This table describes the blocks and subsystems in the virtual vehicle model template.

Virtual Vehicle Model Template Element	Description
Scenarios	Implements the driver scenario. The subsystem contains variants that generate maneuver-specific driver reference velocity, path, and action signals.
Environment	Implements the environment model, including road grade, wind velocity, and ambient temperature and pressure. The subsystem contains variants that generate environment- and terrain-specific signals.
Driver Commands Rider Commands (Vehicle Dynamics Blockset)	Implements the driver model that generates acceleration, braking, gear, and steering commands. The subsystem contains variants that interact with typical driver vehicle inputs, such as steering, accelerator, decelerator, and transmission commands.
Controllers	Implements a powertrain control module (PCM) containing a transmission control unit (TCU) and engine control unit (ECU).
Vehicle	Implements a passenger car that contains transmission drivetrain and engine plant model subsystems.
Visualization	Displays vehicle-level performance, fuel economy, and emission results that are useful for powertrain matching and component selection analysis.
Analyze Power and Energy	For certain passenger vehicles, you can run a script to evaluate and report power and energy consumption at the component-level and system-level. For more information, see Run Power Accounting.
Change Current Scenario	Enables you to change the current scenario. The options and settings depend on the available products and vehicle configuration.
