    you need to add an event to the model.  With 2017.2, right click in the project browser over the 'model' folder.  Then you should get a pop-up menu with a selection option to 'add events'.  Once you add an event, you will have control over the specifics for that event.

    Add event option is not appearing in model. So what to do now?

    I think the issue is that you do not have the correct preference file loaded.

     

    Under File -> Load -> Preference File. Select MBD - Vehicle Dynamics Tools, and then press the 'Load' button.  You may have to reload your model after loading in the preference file.  If everything is loaded correctly, you should see a 'Vehicle Tools' menu option at the top menu, and the icon beside the text 'Altair Driver' in the project browser should look like a driver's helmet rather than the generic System/Event icon.

    I see Vehicle tools menu option but the icon beside the text 'Altair Driver' in the project browser is still like the generic System/Event icon, not like a helmet.
