Overview

This co-simulation example shows the implementation of a wheelie controller in Activate. It shows how one can combine Altair Driver with a custom controller.

The motorcycle is modeled in MotionSolve. PID Controller with Feed-Forward action and Anti-wind Up is used for controlling the motorcycle. Flexible components and electric powertrain are implemented in MotionSolve. Throttle control modulates the applied motor torque to achieve the desired pitch angle; PID feedforward action depends on the pitch angle. Random road profile tests controller robustness.

To run the model: 

  1. Open Activate and define the pitch angle reference
  2. Verify the MotionSolve model and results path
  3. Run the Activate-MS co-simulation
