CarSim-Simulink Co-Simulation Example

In this example, we will discuss CarSim-Simulink co-simulation. This demonstration is particularly valuable as it illustrates the integration methodology between two distinct simulation tools. First, we will provide a detailed overview of CarSim and Simulink's core features and capabilities, including their respective input/output interfaces and data exchange protocols. Next, we will explain the integration process through S-functions or Vehicle Network Toolbox, covering parameter configuration, signal mapping, and real-time data synchronization techniques. The implementation includes setting up the vehicle dynamics model in CarSim while handling control algorithms in Simulink, with proper time-step management for stable co-simulation. Finally, we will provide a complete workflow example with configuration files and block diagrams to help you better understand the integration process. Key functions involve establishing TCP/IP communication channels and implementing callback functions for seamless data transfer between the simulation environments. Let's begin!
