Autonomie 2020 Update 2 was validated from Matlab R2017a to Matlab R2020b.

Vehicle and Model Updates

  • Configurations that are compatible with RoadRunner were added to the AutonomieEnergy library under the config_extbus folder. These configurations have the external bus.
  • Adding powertrain efficiency calculation as a default output from the post-processing scripts.
  • Updated the derived 5 cycles weighting factors based on EPA procedure for MY17 and newer vehicles.
  • New configuration for a motor integrated DCT vehicle, is added to Autonomie. This is similar to the architecture found in new Honda vehicles.

  • Customizable messages:
    • Separated Vehicle and Library messages
    • Choose the level: NoShow, Information, Warning, Error
  • Import Legacy Process feature was added to import REV16 and later processes into AMBER/Autonomie 2020 U2
  • Vehicle Workflow improvements
    • New Edit and Run a Vehicle Workflow was added.
    • 1D and 2D Parameter Editor to edit maps as a table.
    • Eval and Build buttons were moved to the ribbon so they can be used with all vehicle workflows.

Bug Fixes

  • Edit a Vehicle – Cannot select required preproc file after a model change.
  • Edit a Vehicle – Issues when changing multiple configurations not all systems are shown.
  • Edit a Vehicle - Moving between Files and Parameters clears the values on the parameter tab
  • Edit a Vehicle – Parameter tree does not update when files are added or removed from the vehicle.
  • Edit a Vehicle – Vehicle save resets accmech file.
  • Edit a Vehicle – Changing initialization file does not register as a macro change.
  • Edit a Vehicle – Running 2 to 4wd macro does not generate expected warning messages in the messages grid.
  • Edit a Vehicle - Changing configurations clears the parameter grid.
  • Run a Vehicle - Default grids not always loading on startup of workflow
  • Building crash when having a large number of signals.

Deprecated Features

  • Removed the Change Model tab from the “Run a Vehicle” workflow. To change models and run use the “Edit a Vehicle and Run” workflow instead.
  • An improved sizing is coming in the next release, reorganized and easier to use.
