Abstract: To improve the teaching effect of automobile theory course, the vehicle dynamics simulation software based on MATLAB graphical user interface (GUI) is established. It mainly includes the modules of vehicle power performance, fuel economy, braking performance, handling stability and ride comfort. During the teaching process of automobile theory, on the one hand, students can set corresponding parameters in the software according to their own requirements to view the corresponding response visually and clearly, and deepen their understanding of knowledge points; on the other hand, the auxiliary software can also stimulate the students' interest in learning and improve their subjective initiative, so as to achieve better teaching results.

摘要： 为提高汽车理论课程的教学效果，利用 MATLAB 建立基于图形用户界面（GUI）的汽 车动力学仿真软件。该软件主要包括汽车动力性、燃油经济性、制动性、操纵稳定性以及平 顺性等模块。在汽车理论的教学过程中，一方面学生可以在软件中根据自己的要求设置相应 的参数，直观清晰地查看相应的响应情况，加深对知识点的理解；另一方面，该辅助软件也 能激发学生的学习兴趣，提高学生的主观能动性，从而达到较好的教学效果。
