Thread Subject: Diagram of active suspension in SimMechanics

I intend to build my own active suspension model in SimMechanics. I thought about the "moderate" model in which have no complicated arm/spindle or something like that and maybe only consist of spring, damper, mass, tyre and so on. Later on, I want to improve the model and implement a fuzzy controller on it.

So far, I've been searching for the diagram that I can use as a reference in building my model. I wonder whether you can give me a schematic diagram of active suspension system that I can use. Or maybe you have a past experience in doing this so that we can share the knowledge. If so, then I would be very happy.

Feel free to contact me to my personal email. I'm looking forward to anyone's responses.

Thx
