What is ASM Trailer?
ASM Trailer is an extension to the ASM Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Package. It is based on a multibody system consisting of a trailer body, an arbitrary number of axles and an optional dolly. The model also includes suspensions, tires, brakes, and aerodynamics. The connection to the towing vehicle is provided via a hitch that includes mechanical stops. The trailer and all axles can be activated or deactivated during simulation without new code generation.
Key Benefits
All of the Simulink blocks in the model are visible, so it is easy to add or replace components with custom models to adapt the vehicle’s properties perfectly to individual projects. The standardized ASM interfaces allow the vehicle dynamics model to be easily adapted to meet specific requirements or even create a virtual vehicle. Driving maneuvers and roads can be created intuitively using graphical tools with preview and clear visualization. All parameters can be altered during run time.
Offline and Online Simulation
ASM Trailer can be used in combination with real controllers in a hardware-in-the-loop environment (HIL, online mode), or for simulating a vehicle in combination with software controller algorithms together with dSPACE VEOS (PC, offline mode). The model comes in three different versions and license types for online and offline simulation: ASM Developer, ASM Operator, and ASM Runtime. They support either code generation via MathWorks´ Simulink Coder® and dSPACE RTI, or come as run-time models with precompiled code.
