Euler follower cars.sm (194.64 KiB) downloaded 21 time(s).

I already have the leader velocity and the equation that models it, my current issue is that for the follow up vehicles i cannot get the units correctly. So far I've tried to define the position to define the velocities but is to no avail. I managed to complete the project in Excel and in Matlab but here I've hit a wall. Could really appreciate help and advise since Im new to the program, thanks

In the expression below, you multiply the time step with all elements of the vector V.1. The name of the result suggests that you want to obtain the position. Yet you have to integrate instead of just multiplying.

Here are some options of how to do it.
