VDL Version 4.8

VehicleDynamics Library 4.8 is part of Modelon's 2025.2 release.

Improvements/Changes

Add more push/pull rod linkage templates

Added four and five link linkage templates with rockers and push/pullrods. These are found under Suspensions.Linkages.Independent.Templates

For special cases where external springs/dampers are not needed, there are also variants of Double wishbone, Four link and Five link linkages without these components and a corresponding steerable and non-steerable suspension templates.

Minor Changes

  • Vehicles/Chassis/Suspensions/Interfaces/Base4 has updated description details related to wheel position labeling, where some positions were previously mentioned inversely (e.g., left instead of right). Hub numbering has also been revised in the code. These changes are purely descriptive and do not affect model results.

Conversion of User Libraries

As of this release, 32-bit binaries are removed and support is dropped

No conversion from Vehicle Dynamics Library 4.7 is needed.
