Configuring the simulation
First and foremost, with the knowledge we gained in this chapter, we have to choose the right simulation times, the solvers, and their options. Let's open the model's Configuration Parameters window (or press Ctrl + E) for the last time.
Simulation times
The Start time parameter will be left as 0.0 seconds. We're not going to wait at the car parking, are we?
Having a powerful engine, we'll reach the target speed of 100 km/h from standstill in less than 10 seconds. But we want to see how the vehicle speed settles to the target speed (to detect overshoots and make sure the target is actually reached), so we'll use a long enough Stop time, 50 seconds.
The step size will be large enough to allow an external (soft real-time) ...
