Integrate Simscape Driveline with Simscape Multibody

i have developed a physical vehicle model in Simscape Multibody earlier. I have modelled the contact force between the wheels and road using sphere to plane force block. However, I would like to see that whether the results will be different if I modelled the tire using magic formula block. But, I could not figure out how to integrate the magic formula block from simscape driveline with simscape multibody. I understand that there is actually a Magic Formula block in simscpae multibody itself, but that one requires too many parameter input where i could not obtain the information. Thus, I wanted to try to use the magic formula block in Simscape Driveline. Hope someone could help me with this. Thanks a lot!

Hi @Pei Yee Lim,

You can use the Translational Multibody Interface or the Rotational Multibody Interface to connect vehicle models in Simscape Driveline to Simscape Multibody. Below is a screenshot showing how you could connect a Simscape Multibody model to shipping demonstration model sdl_car.
