Chrono VEHICLE module tutorials
The Chrono distribution contains several demos for modeling and simulating ground vehicle systems with the VEHICLE module.
Chrono::Vehicle provides support for both wheeled and tracked vehicles, in a template-based framework. These templates are parameterized models of various vehicles and vehicle subsystems.
In addition to the main library, the VEHICLE module also creates a library of pre-defined VEHICLE models which currently contains:
- Wheeled vehicle models
- Tracked vehicle models
- M113: tracked vehicle
Selected vehicle demos:
- demo_VEH_HMMWV - off-road 4WD wheeled vehicle (from the Vehicle models library)
- demo_VEH_HMMWV_DefSoil - wheeled vehicle on SCM deformable terrain (Bekker-Wong-type)
- demo_VEH_HMMWV_Parallel - wheeled vehicle on granular terrain simulation with the PARALLEL module
- demo_VEH_M113 - tracked vehicle (from the Vehicle models library)
- demo_VEH_M113_DefSoil - tracked vehicle on SCM deformable terrain (Bekker-Wong-type)
- demo_VEH_M113_Parallel - tracked vehicle simulation with the PARALLEL module
- demo_VEH_SteeringController - using a lateral steering controller for a double-lane change maneuver
- demo_VEH_CRGTerrain - demonstration of the optional interface to OpenCRG
- demo_VEH_ArticulatedVehicle - demonstration of extending Chrono::Vehicle (articulated chassis)
- demo_VEH_TactorTrailer - demonstration of extending Chrono::Vehicle (tractor-trailer vehicle)
- demo_VEH_TwoCars - demonstration of using multiple vehicles in a single simulation
- demo_VEH_WheeledJSON - wheeled vehicle defined through JSON specification files
- demo_VEH_TrackedJSON - tracked vehicle defined through JSON specification files
- demo_VEH_DeformableSoil - demonstration of location-dependent soil parameters in SCM deformable terrain
- demo_VEH_MovingPatch - demonstration of the moving patch feature for granular terrain
