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 as JC08 and CUEDC, 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 as JC08 and CUEDC, 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.
