Architecture Based Vehicle Modeling
May 23, 2017
Reviewing Architecture-Based Approaches for Vehicle Modeling All Modelon libraries are developed to adhere to the open-standard, Modelica language. We, at Modelon, thrive in this language standard for many reasons and fully leverage it in the use of templates and model architectures to rapidly create models and model variants. Modelon’s Vehicle Dynamics Library utilizes this template-based […]
