Drag Reduction System (DRS)

Hello,
I have been trying to replicate my Formula Student car and I would like to ask if there is a way to make a Drag Reduction System (DRS).For those who do not know, this system opens the flaps at the rear wing at the straights and as a result is reduces the drag. I could not find a way to make this or atleast make something close to it. If anybody could give me some ideas are always welcomed.
Thank you very much!

Hi Angelos,

DRS is not a basic GUI option, but an example using CarMaker4Simulink is included in the FCM package. Please look at the Test Run Competition/FS_Acceleration_DRS and the included Simulink Models DRS_A.mdl and DRS_B.mdl.

Hi,
Thank you very much for the information. I run the Test Run in the main GUI but it completes the run at the same time with and without DRS, so i believe that the DRS is not activated. Does it activates in a certain condition or should I run something with the Simulink open?
Thank you for your time!
