I am having trouble importing only a tire model. I see how to access a full vehicle assembly through Assembly Wizard but I would like to know where those model are coming from and if I can use one of the individual models. Is this something that is possible?
Also I have tried making my own tire model by using the Grasub method but I do not know what to do once I have created the template with the script inside.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Emilio - In the same 'Model' menu where you access the Assembly Wizard, there is 'Set Wizard Paths' option. It will show a default locations for
Now, coming to your specific questions
if I can use one of the individual models. - Yes. You can. by Importing the system definition individually using the Import tab in the Systems entity panel. Note that many of the systems take attachments, so you might have to resolve these attachments manually.
Also I have tried making my own tire model by using the Grasub method but I do not know what to do once I have created the template with the script inside
If you have saved the system definition, you can always import it whenever needed as explained above.
You can also create your own wizard library and make modifications such as adding a new tire system definition.
I recommend that you copy the existing library files to a different location, add/change system definition as needed change model & task wizard as needed. Then change the path using the Set Wizard Path.
Regarding .reports
One can build a post processing template consisting of plots and animation and save as a .tpl file
This tpl can then be linked to the model using *Report statement.
When MV exports or runs the model, the *Report information is written to the .report file mentioned in the Set Wizard Path
Analysis > View Reports tool accesses this .report so that the report can then be loaded.
Hope this helps
