Dymola 2013 FD01 Release notes 51
• All physical models that dissipate heat (such as gears, clutches or dampers), have now an
optional heat port to which the dissipated energy is flowing, if activated.
• Improved functionality of torque division for controllers of (hybrid) electric vehicles.
• Upgraded documentation of controllers, converters, and electric drives.
• Redesigned visualization elements to be compatible with those used in Modelica
Standard Library.
The version is backward compatible to PowerTrain 2.0.x.
3.8.6 SmartElectricDrives Library
Version 1.4.2 is a minor version with changes to avoid numerical problems of flux position
detection at zero flux.
3.8.7 Vehicle Dynamics Library
Version 1.7 is a major maintenance release with many changes in the underlying Modelica
code to ensure better compliance to the Modelica Language Specification (version 3.2).
Some example experiments, e.g. ParameterIdenfication and DoubleLaneChangeVerification
in SingleTrack, are now modified to take advantage of the Modelon.DataAccess architecture
that allows users to conveniently populate the models with data from sources outside the
Modelica environments.
Commands have been added to many experiments to modify the animation view in the
active animation window. The commands allow the user to quickly view a vehicle, chassis
or suspension from the front, side, rear, top or isometric perspective. Most of the example
experiments within Vehicle Dynamics Library have these commands available.
