Vehicle Model with Delft-Tyre in Simscape Multibody

Vehicle model in Simscape Multibody using 3-D tire model.

You are now following this Submission

Note: a newer and more elaborate version of this example is available here:
A very comprehensive vehicle simulation example with multilink suspensions and powertrain is available here
This file contains a 15-DOF model of a passenger car that can be configured to run several different tests, including slalom, 4-post testrig, and a parking maneuver. It requires Delft-Tyre software from TASS International, which can be requested from https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/global/en/products/simulation-test/tire-simulation-testing.html The vehicle model is built using Simscape Multibody.
Please read the README.txt file to get started.
