Design Analysis Tool

The design analysis tool is an important part of the AEV project. The program gives accurate measurements of the duration of the run, energy usage, and a graph of energy vs. time by downloading information from the AEV and analyzing the data in MATLAB. All of the graphs that are on this website, as well as measurement of energy and time, come from this program.

 

Below are the four codes that were used so the team would become familiar with how to use the design analysis tool. The graphs of these tests for power vs. distance and power vs. time are located in a file at the bottom of the page.

 

Test 1: Exercise 4 Straight Track Code
