Autonomie 2020 Update 1 was validated from Matlab R2017a to Matlab R2020a.

Vehicle and Model Updates

  • Controllers are updated to better handle large grade variations in drive cycles
  • Regenerative braking during downhill condition is improved
  • SOC balancing conditions are updated to reduce the acceptable tolerance from 2% to 1%
  • Dual energy storage systems will now terminate unused buses

New Features

  • Settings
    • Added the ability to change order of libraries in the project file, which will change their order in the Matlab path
    • Added to the project file the version of Matlab to use with the project
    • Added the ability to refresh files. That is, changes in the metadata files can now be reloaded by the user.
  • Vehicle Editor Workflow
    • Multiple minor File Grid improvements e.g. colors easier to identify changes.
    • A default parameter list can be customized and loaded.
    • Vehicle macros - Save changes made to a vehicle and apply those changes on other vehicles.
    • Added Information Panel with information about the vehicle with hyperlinks to open vehicle file.
    • Vehicle selection tree moved to a separate searchable dialog
    • Additional Vehicle Warning Messages
      • Duplicated parameters warnings
      • Bus warnings
    • List of selectable configuration is filtered on configurations whose effort and flow connections exactly match the ones defined by their parent configuration.
  • Run a Vehicle
    • MPI can now be used with cycles, not only parametric study
    • A default Parameter grid can be customized and loaded.
  • Data Analysis Workflow
    • Can now select a .mat files instead of folders
    • Matlab Predefined Plots now work for duplicated components, e.g.: mot2
  • Parametric study is automatically applied to all current processes when adding multiple parameter runs. No need to remember to turn it on separately.

Bug Fixes

  • Crash on changing views tile, tab, ribbon group
  • Run a Vehicle Workflow
    • Changes made to the vehicle are used during sizing
  • Edit a Vehicle Workflow
    • Fixed issues with deleting and adding tabs
    • Fixed issues with warning about model signals not in vehicle: double click to auto-fix wasn’t working for some vehicles
    • Issues with refreshing the vehicle editor after importing a configurations
    • File compatibilities changes in the Metadata editor were not saved
  • Data Analysis Workflow
    • Multiple Analysis files issues fixed. Problems with using deprecated unit conversions.
    • Plots on data analysis tab now in synch with their Matlab representations. That is, scaling factors on signals are applied on their corresponding Matlab plots.
    • Summary grid allows dragging and dropping of string parameters
    • Loading an analysis environment would remove the cycle plot

Deprecated Features

  • Data Analysis
    • Remove delta speed plot
  • Vehicle Model
    • CAPS.a_layout is no longer used. CAPS level configurations now each have unique layout files. Eg. Pe1e1.a_config uses Pe1e1.a_layout, CPe1e1.a_config uses CPe1e1.a_layout
    • cpl_DCTonly_state_scalar_postprocess.m and cpl_DCTonly_postprocess.m were removed. Replaced by cpl_plant_dct_only_postproc.m
