Modelica and Dymola for education in vehicle dynamics at KTH

• Dymola and Modelica has been used at KTH Vehicle Dynamics (KTHVD) for research work since 2000, see e.g. [1]. With the Vehicle Dynamics Library (VDL) [2], Modelica has become far more accessible for both researchers and students in the field of vehicle dynamics. Therefore a project aiming at introducing it as a tool in education was initiated in order to evaluate the current state of Dymola and Modelica as tools for wider use in education at the division. The work presented in this paper was realized as a part of a PhD course, where one of the tasks were to design dedicated exercises to illustrate fundamentals of vehicle dynamics for students.
