Troubleshooting

This section lists common issues with this toolbox. Since this toolbox is closely tied to BeamNG.tech, it is also recommended to consult the support in documentation website on BeamNG.tech

Toolbox not visible

Problem: You cannot see the toolbox in your Simulink library browser, or running the beamng command does not work.

Solution: You may have to add the toolbox path to MATLAB search path. Try the following steps:

  1. Re-start MATLAB and check if the beamng command works now.

  2. If this does not work, try to install the toolbox again (you probably have to uninstall the toolbox first).

Environment variable not recognized

Problem: The environment variable BNG_HOME is not recognized in MATLAB or BeamNGpy, although you set it.

Solution: Environment variables are read by an application when the application is started. Re-start MATLAB or the Python process so that changes take effect.
