I have created my model without using any assembly wizards, how can I define events such as the n-poster test or J-turn? Do I need to define a new wizard and model using that? if so how do I do that?

We recommend using the wizards to create vehicle models, simply because those models have seen 20 years of development and also validated with physical test data. Most vehicle configurations, even unconventional ones, can be modeled either directly by choosing the required suspension/steering/driveline topology, or, by modifying the closest available topology. The only limitation is that the vehicle co-ordinate system be ISO or SAE (XZ plane of symmetry).  

Since you have already created a model, you may find the following article useful in how to use your existing design data to re-build using the wizard libraries. Basically it involves building a default wizard model, changing any topology as needed, exporting an MS-Excel compatible data input file, manually entering design data, then re-importing it back into MotionView:

All that said, it is probably possible to take your model and make it compatible with the Events. The first pre-requisite is to add Altair Driver (right click on any entity in Model Browser, add Auto Entity), then create the correct attachments using default library full-vehicle model as a reference, then proceed to add Events. 

Good luck with your project either way!
