How to import your own vehicle model and run on the generated terrain

[Xiaochao Gu]

Hello，

I tried to import the three-dimensional model of the articulated vehicle I established myself, and set the constraints. And I want to co-simulate with Simulink. Can ProjectChrono be realized ? How to achieve ?

Thank you！

Xiaochao,

 

A vehicle model in Chrono is just another multibody system. You can co-simulate with Simulink the same way it is illustrated in the demos for the Chrono::Cosimulation module.  See for example demo_COSIM_hydraulics and the description at https://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_demo_cosim_hydraulics.html.

 

Note that this Chrono::Cosimulation module is *not* the same as the co-simulation module in Chrono::Vehicle.  The former provides a simple mechanism for data exchange based on TCP sockets.  The latter is a more complex setup which is tailored to co-simulate Chrono vehicle models with different terrain representations (either provided by Chrono itself or else an external third-party terramechanics package).

Radu,

Thank you for your reply ! I saw your recommended tutorial on  Cosimulation  . 

I also have a question about the Chrono : : Vehicle module. Can I replace the vehicle model in the Chrono : : Vehicle module with my own 3D model ?

Thank you!
