Use Guide

Use this section after your environment is set up. BobDyn usage splits cleanly by layer.

GuideUse it whenYou will mostly touch
BobDyn/BobLib Use GuideYou are editing, checking, or simulating the Modelica vehicle library directlyModelica packages, records, OMEdit diagrams, direct OpenModelica workflows
BobDyn/BobSim Use GuideYou are running vehicle studies and collecting outputsBobSim app Setup, Simulation, Archive, workflow YAML, reports, metrics

Rule Of Thumb

Use BobLib when the question is "what is the vehicle model?" Use BobSim when the question is "what setup or study do I want to run with that model?"

The two layers stay separate on purpose: BobLib keeps the physics inspectable, and BobSim keeps the analysis workflow repeatable.
