Effect of lateral tire forces on the vehicle dynamics

Hi!

I´m working with the vehicle dynamics blockset in simulink, and I am trying to analyze the effect of lateral and longitudinal tire forces on a vehicle body, but i have a problem with the input of this block. It only allows me an input of longitudinal external forces and external forces. Any recomendation to connect the tire forces that i get from the pacjeka formula of my tire model to the vehicle dynamics blockset ??

Hi Jose,

If you select External force input. Then check the box of External Forces under Input Signals. You will see an Inport shows up. This external forces input port takes longitudinal and lateral force. You can feed lateral forces into the block.
