7 years ago All great points - making it easier to get started with using tire models is one of the key goals with OpenTire. The testEnv.py is a very basic example but it would definitely make sense to build that out further and also provide some documentation on the API and some getting-started type tutorials.
I hope to push up the PAC2012 (compatible with MF6.1) formulation later this year, which will make OpenTire compatible with the models commonly used in industry today. After it would be appropriate to build out examples.
Do you think examples should just be something simple "script"-like, or should would it make sense with a GUI application for interacting with models?

OpenTire doesn't seem to have much in terms of examples and documentation. Starting on some documentation would make OpenTire much more appealing to use and lower the cost-to-entry of using the library.
We could create a demo application that uses OpenTire that demonstrates some basic operations of OpenTire. It would serve both demonstrative and documentation purposes.
The demo app doesn't have to be anything complicated, maybe a simple visualisation of the 02 coefficients from the Pacejka textbook. Basics like FY vs SA, FX VS SR, FY vs FX...
I have been meaning to try the library with a YMD simulation but the lack of documentation makes it a challenge. A simple application would show what OpenTire can do.
