cosin software 2024-1 release notes

General cosin software aspects

1. made movie quality selectable in animation settings GUI

cosin graphical user interface (GUI)

1. fix: occasional crash in data-block editor GUI for data files in cosin/io format
2. fix: potentially incomplete file names of run scripts in Linux and Mac if generated by GUI calls
3. data-block editor for data files in cosin/io format redesigned

FTire/core

1. fix: disabling footprint plot in animation settings GUI made functional
2. list of available output signals which are selectable for use in TYDEX signal array made dependent on speed mode and submodel activation status
3. optional brake caliper added to FTire CAD models
4. kinematic output signals slip, slip angle, tire deflection, tire deflection velocity, and camber angle made available even in highest FTire speed mode
5. new optional smooth coloring of contact force vectors, depending on sliding velocity, rather than red/orange/yellow for sticking/sliding (selection in animation settings window or in running animation menu)

FTire/fit

1. fix: FTire/fit free parameter list might have become invalid after manual (unsupported) deletion of measurement files in FTire/fit subfolder meas
2. added tooltips which describe score components in FTire/fit GUI more precisely
3. made sure ‚rmax‘ kind of measurement is used for identification tasks in FTire/fit

cosin/tools

1. cosin/ip: full support of all kinds of csv files as plot files, with or without signals labels in first line
2. made sure cosin/ip curves completely fill x interval even with extreme x zoom
3. new slider control for x-zoom and x interval in cosin/ip

cosin/tools for roads

1. fix: occasionally erroneous modification of cosin attributes fixed
2. fix: selection of partial rgr grid for automatic visualization fixed
3. query of additional road properties (texture index, waterfall height etc.) simplified and unified
4. optional transformation of data in binary CAD files in trb format introduced

CTI (cosin tire interface)

1. forced extrapolation is suppressed if step-size control is enabled in CTI-controlled call to FTire
2. made sure Adams/RT runs with FTire in highest speed mode even if the Adams/RT solver violates the ‚constant step size‘ condition
