What do you want to do?

Choose a guide for your next engineering task, from a first study to model equations and completed evidence.

01 / Choose a path

I'm new to VehicleLab

Run the default study, learn the Studio controls, and read completed results.

02 / Choose a path

I want to run a vehicle over a road

Full-Car spatial traversal from procedural surfaces or supported-subset OpenCRG. Inspect four-corner excitation, Response and Drive over Road.

03 / Choose a path

I want to run coupled vehicle dynamics

Prepare the applied vehicle, choose native 14-DOF dynamics and inspect moving-rack mechanics, tire forces and qualified smooth-road point contact.

04 / Choose a path

I want to understand a vehicle model

Read the equations, coordinates and limits of each passive linear model.

05 / Choose a path

I want to run an engineering workflow

Quarter-Car and Half-Car support Study, Explore and Compare, with Transient and Frequency Study/Compare. Full-Car Ride and Coupled Dynamics use their separate transient workflows.

06 / Choose a path

I want to export or communicate results

Export completed evidence; save supported definitions to rerun later. Engineering Video is available for Quarter-Car and Half-Car Transient Study and Full-Car Spatial road traversal.

07 / Choose a path

I want technical details

Inspect model equations, numerical methods, frequency formulation and evidence boundaries.

Current model scope

VehicleLab 2.1.1 opens the applied Vehicle assembly. Full-Car Ride has 7 DOF; prepared Coupled Dynamics has 14 DOF and 28 states, with its own moving-rack and Road-contact boundary. Independent Half Car · 4 DOF studies cover body heave, pitch and two unsprung masses. Quarter Car · 2 DOF is the simpler vertical reference.

Generic presets are not named production vehicles. Physical correlation has not been performed. Read the evidence boundaries.
