3.8.15 Smart Electric Drives Library
A minor version 1.4.4 has been released. Some features compared with the version 1.4.2 in
previous Dymola release:
• Changed initialization of some blocks (version 1.4.3).
• Applied fixed parameter values to some drive models and examples for Modelica
compatibility.
3.8.16 Thermal Power Library
Version 1.7 is a major update of the library. Some examples of improvements:
• Restructuring of DynamicPipe_lumpedP twophase model.
• New discretized twophase pipe model that can handle reversing flow.
• It is possible to use other twophase medium than WaterIf97, e.g. an organic medium like
rR134a.
Models using ThermalPower 1.6 will automatically be updated to ThermalPower 1.7.
3.8.17 Vehicle Dynamics Library
Version 1.8 is a major maintenance release with a number of improvements. Some
examples:
• Additional tuners, tunables and setup experiment are now available; tuners and tunables
can be used to adjust many different properties of the vehicle, such as camber, toe, and
ride heights. Chassis tuning/setup is applicable both in OEMs and Motorsports.
• An example of the use of the Modelon.DataAccess architecture for data management
has been added. The example demonstrates how a vehicle model can be completely
parameterized to data from external files using the DataAccess functionality.
• Boolean visualization modes in wheels have been modified to be Reals, in order to
improve real-time performance.
• The Tabular engine and it´s torque block have been restructured to make it easier to add
custom engine torque models.
• The parameter and input connectors to the ShakerN and PivotingPlanes ground models
have been changed to get consistency and improved usability. The post locations and
input connector index now corresponds directly to the wheel_number.
A conversion script is available to convert models build with version 1.6, 1.7, and 1.7.1 to
version 1.8.
