University researchers use Dymola to model the real world driver behaviour of hybrid vehicles, and to help reduce their environmental impact

Researchers at the University of Warwick are undertaking a three-year research project to investigate the impact of real world driver behaviour on CO2 emissions and energy use of vehicles. It’s the first time a single modelling framework will be developed for all hybrid vehicle architectures which will link individual vehicle models with driver models, transport [...] read more

rFactor Pro supports Dymola for driver-in-the-loop simulation

Motor racing is one of the world’s most fast-moving businesses – and its engineers have to be equally dynamic. Race car designers often change vehicle details minute by minute, so how do engineers keep up? The answer is state-of-the-art simulation. rFactor Pro is a high fidelity vehicle simulator with game-quality graphics and sound engines for human [...] read more

Dymola, MathWorks and the Simulink opportunity

If you’re attending the MathWorks event in Daventry, you’ve probably heard people talking about how Dymola adds to the functionality of Simulink. We’ve put together a short FAQ. For more in-depth information about Dymola, go to www.claytex.com Why is Dymola at MathWorks? Many Simulink users also use Dymola. The two technologies complement one another very well, so [...] read more
