Magic Formula model for lateral force and self-aligning torque.

This script generates the parameters for Pacejka 89 model, both for lateral force Fy and self-aligning torque Mz. We have 14 parameters for lateral force Fy, 18 parameters for self-aligning torque Mz.

.mat struct with Optimal Parameters for Pacejka 89 model. You can save the Optimal Parameters uncommenting the related lines (you can find all the comments in the script). The Optimal Parameters have been already evaluated and ready-for-use. They are available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7920414

The script calls other functions:

1. Pac89_Fy (called through fminunc, it finds parameters for Fy)
2. Pac89_Mz (called through fminunc, it finds parameters for Mz)
3. Modello_Pac89_Fy
4. Modello_Pac89_Mz

(5.) WriteYaml (just in case you want to convert OptParameter struct from .mat to .yaml. You can find functions and instruction here: https://github.com/ewiger/yamlmatlab.git . If you were not interested in yaml files, please comment the lines in the script.

This script is intended for plotting only. It plots the Magic Formula fitting curves for the selected tyre.
