Integrate suspension (activate model) into motorcycle model (MDL file)

Carolina Carvalho

I have a two-wheeler model that I created on HyperWorks.MV and I would like to know how I can integrate an activate model of a suspension with my motorcycle. Is there a way to do this? Or are these two separate things that I cannot bring together?

I appreciate any help or guiding on the subject since I'm new to the software. Thank you in advance!

The integration of MotionView and Activate is one of the big advantages of these tools. It works in both directions:

a) Activate using a MotionView model via MotionSolve-CoSimulation block

b) MotionView/MotionSolve using an Activate model via FMI

For both methods you can find demo models in the demo library as well as tutorials installed with MotionView and Activate (see help). Another source of information is the PDF Extended Definitions (Activate 2021.2).

The principle is always similar: you define solver arrays for plant input and plant output and solver variables in MotionView, in Activate you define inputs and outputs (FMI) or connect the system model with the MotionSolve-CoSimulation block. Inputs and outputs are e. g. displacement, velocity, and force.
