ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics Model

The ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics Model demonstrates the handling and behavior of automotive ASM pneumatic components using the ASM Truck Trailer Demo model as background. The model includes air supply, air brakes and air suspension for truck and trailer. This allows typical applications such as ABS braking or level control. A complete overview over all ASM pneumatic components can be found in the product documentation of ASM Pneumatics.

Installation

• Please get an ASM Truck Trailer demo model from the dSPACE installation and download the ASM_TruckTrailer_Pneumatics .zip-file for your dSPACE release linked below.
• The .zip-file contains the ASM_TruckTrailer_Pneumatics.slx, a suitable go file and all initialization files required for parameterizing the pneumatics system of the truck trailer variants for a truck with full trailer and a truck with semi-trailer. Extract the complete .zip folder.
• Copy the content of the extracted folder into the Simulation folder of the ASM Truck Trailer Demo project.
• When you do this, you must confirm that the files already saved to the destination folder can be replaced.
• Now the ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics Model can be used in MATLAB like all other ASM demo models.

Attention
In case an ASM Truck Trailer demo of release 2023A or 2023B is used as basis to create an ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics demo project as described above, these two files have to be modified:
- %root path%
\_TruckFullTrailer\IniFiles\vehicledynamics\asm_vehicledynamics_ini.m
- %root path%\_TruckSemiTrailer\IniFiles\vehicledynamics\asm_vehicledynamics_ini.m
In each of these files comment out the line "brake_booster;".

Now the ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics Model can be used in MATLAB like all other ASM demo models.    

Parametrization

A ModelDesk parameterization project is already included in the ASM Truck Trailer demo and can be reconfigured for the ASM Truck Trailer Pneumatics demo model. After the ModelDesk project has been opened, the Simulation Model of the ModelDesk project must be changed to ASM_TruckTrailer_Pneumatics.slx. Afterwards, all ASM Pneumatics components can be parameterized using ModelDesk.

Requirements

• Licenses for ASM Truck,  ASM Trailer, ASM Pneumatics
• ModelDesk
• MotionDesk (optional)
