This model was developed for use in teaching modeling, simulation, and optimization in graduate engineering courses. The simulation is particularly useful for demonstrating different simulation designs that are optimized for different applications (e.g., maximum handling capability, maximum comfort, etc.). The model is based on the electric vehicle case study found in this dissertation:
