For simulating Driveline, the solver can't solve it. The error states that Parallel masses must have same velocity but the initial velocities for tire and vehicle body are given same only. How can I rectify it?
Without your model, it is hard to answer your question. I believe you should only set one of the initial velocities in your net...
