How can I change the position of IPGDriver?

Question

Sometimes it is necessary to optimize the IPGDriver and to change his reference position related to the vehicle. This position is called Vehicle Point of Interest (PoI). The controllers of the IPGDriver use this point as a reference for its calculations.

Solution

By default this point is located in the middle between the vehicle axes.

You can change the position by using Sensor.PoI.pos = x y z in the additional parameters for the TestRun (see Reference Manual 5.1 in CarMaker 8.1.1).

Like this, it is for instance possible to place the Driver into the center of gravity to check quantities like Driver.Lat.dy related to the CoG.
