Vehicle Lab v0.1.1 — experimental software

Vehicle Lab v0.1.1 adds a 37.5-second film and an interactive motion and terrain study to the reusable engineering notebook.

• Ridge R3d opens immediately. Follow all 65 recorded revisions and 68 parent links, inspect detailed components, separate systems, and explore the separate Baby AG23 study.
• The original 128 BPM electronic score is synchronized to the 37.5-second film.
• Select complete saved Chrono log, pit and steering/braking runs, or native wheel-support obstacle courses. Use camera controls, suspension traces, contact forces, collision views and recorded parameter downloads.
• Browser Back preserves playback, orbit and evidence downloads. Evidence status is distinct from stage assessment; CAD comparison labels stay consistent. Imported models and controls fit narrow mobile screens.
• The separate 96-second walkthrough reflects the corrected notebook viewer.

The source archive contains software, examples, documentation, media, licenses and reproducible capture tools. Run python3 tools/serve.py from the extracted directory; see the setup guide for optional analysis and development dependencies.

This remains an experimental software prerelease. Native wheel support is prescribed geometry; Chrono playback uses saved solver results. Failed log and pit traversals are retained, and forest scenery is visual context. Display separation does not establish a valid assembly path. Physical validation and vehicle acceptance remain open.

Vehicle Lab v0.1.0 — experimental software

Newer experimental release: v0.1.1. Watch the 37.5-second film or explore motion and terrain. The v0.1.0 notes and downloads below are retained as release history.

Vehicle Lab is a reusable engineering notebook connecting design intent, 3D geometry, revision decisions, and recorded simulation evidence.

This first experimental release includes:

• A project CLI, manifest schema, grouped OBJ import, and engine-neutral recorded-pose replay contract.
• Interactive 3D inspection, subsystem isolation, revision graphs, decisions, and original evidence downloads.
• Four CAD-derived vehicle studies, a historical Project Chrono obstacle replay, and independent desk-rover and linear-stage examples.
• Eleven documentation pages and a captioned 1080p film with a GitHub GIF preview.
• MIT-licensed original release material and preserved Three.js attribution.

From the extracted directory, run python3 tools/serve.py and open http://127.0.0.1:8767/. Python 3.11+ and a WebGL browser are required. The getting-started guide explains how to create your own project.

The vehicle studies remain unqualified for fabrication or riding. The historical obstacle failure is retained; inspection animation and prescribed motion are identified separately from solved dynamics. Revision history is an authored record, not an executed evolutionary optimizer. See the scope and limitations.
