.VehicleInterfaces.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes.Version_2_0_0

Information

This version requires version 4.0.0 of the Modelica Standard Library. This version is not backward compatible to previous versions 1.x.y of the VehicleInterfaces library.

A tested conversion script is provided to transform models and libraries of previous versions 1.x.y to the new version. Short Overview:

• This version is based on the recent Modelica language standard version 3.4.
• Obsolete classes of previous versions 1.x.y have been replaced.
• Obsolete classes that could not be automatically converted to alternative implementations have been moved to library ObsoleteVehicleInterfaces2.

Improvements in this version

• MinimalAccessories: load torque changes its sign with direction of rotation.
• Road examples were moved into a particular package: Roads.Examples.
• Variable currentGear was deleted from Interfaces.TransmissionControlBus since it is yet properly defined in Transmissions.Internal.StandardControlBus.

Non-backward compatible changes

The following existing components have been changed in a non-backward compatible way:

• GitHub issue #28: Reintroducing the idea of expandable connectors for signal buses, see also detailed description.
• GitHub issues #56 and #46: renaming of protected parameter includeAccessoriesBearing and includeTransmissionBearing, respectively.
• GitHub issue #38: A positive load parameter accessoriesLoad of MinimalAccessories indicates accessories load now.
• GitHub issue #70: Spell Greek letter for m (μ) correctly: mu instead of mue. This concerns classes in Roads package, in particular the function Roads.Interfaces.frictionCoefficientBase. When using this function in your models, please check that automatic conversion performed correctly, i.e. the function's output is called mu now.
