Multi-axle vehicle dynamics simulation

Hello Community,

on the basis of a project work in university I have to design a vehicle model with three / four axles and all wheel steering capability to simulate longitudinal, lateral and vertical behaviour of the vehicle for different road conditions. Thus I have to model a sprung mass motion (center reference point), wheel and tire dynamics.

I found several Simulink Add-On packages like Simscape DriveLine, Vehicle Dynamics Blockset, Simscape Multibody etc… Which one should I use for this approach? Are there any customizable models which I can extend?
