Mechanical Simulation produces and distributes software tools for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of motor vehicles in response to steering, braking, and acceleration control inputs.

These software tools are extensively validated and correlated to real-world results as measured and observed by many automotive OEMs around the world.

Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Products

The simulation packages share many technical features: a user-friendly graphical interface and database, VS Visualizer (3D animator and plotting), and math models that have been validated by decades of research and yet run significantly faster than real time.

The vehicle simulation packages allow you to extend the models using the built-in VS Command language and/or external software such as MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, C code, and others.

Furthermore, they can be run in real-time with hardware in the loop (HIL) or as driving simulators.

Driving Simulation

Driving an Autonomous Vehicle around a building block or on a straight highway will never expose it to the endless accident-prone possibilities and situations that it can face in particular at night or in harsh weather conditions.

This is the reason why our software solution – SCANeR – has been selected by the largest car manufacturers (in volumes) for prototyping, validation and now massive simulation on either on premise or cloud based – and nearly unlimited – GPUs and CPUs.

With the rise of autonomy and connectivity the automotive industry is undergoing the fastest transformation since Henry Ford. It has become a race where all players have to run tremendous amounts of virtual scenarios in order to test captured data and drive billions of relevant digital miles faster than competition.

AVSimulation enables its clients to accelerate thanks to end-to-end simulation solutions including SCANeR™ the most open and complete simulation platform for the automotive industry, the most advanced driving simulators as well as all the associated services required to help them focus on their experimentation.

    OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES

    Real-Time Simulator

    Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is the standard for developing and testing the most complex control, protection and monitoring systems. HIL’s rise is the result of two major factors currently affecting product development across all industries: time-to-market and system complexity.

    Testing of control systems has traditionally been carried out directly on physical equipment (i.e. plant) in the field, on the full system or on a power testbed in a lab. While offering testing fidelity, this practice can be very expensive, inefficient and potentially unsafe.

    HIL testing offers an excellent alternative to traditional testing methods. When performing HIL simulation, the physical plant is replaced by a precisely equivalent computer model, running in real-time on a simulator appropriately equipped with inputs and outputs (I/Os) capable of interfacing with control systems and other equipment.

    In this way, the HIL simulator can accurately reproduce the plant and its dynamics, together with sensors and actuators, providing comprehensive closed-loop testing without the need for testing on real systems.

    HIL offers all this functionality and more, while significantly decreasing the deficiencies of traditional testing methods.

    By reducing risk, cost and the overall time required to test complex embedded systems, HIL simulation has become the standard for a great many industries around the world.

    Leading the Way in Microgrid Testing

    Microgrids pose unique challenges over traditional power grids: variable topologies, complex control and protection systems, an array of communication protocols and the need to interoperate multivendor equipment.

    Most efficient development and testing

    Save Time

    The tight development schedules of today's automotive, aerospace and defence programs cannot afford to wait for available prototypes for embedded system testing. By the time a new automobile engine prototype is available for control system testing, as much as 95% of testing will already have been completed using HIL simulation.

    Reduce Cost

    Frequently, plants are more expensive and have a higher burden-rate than high-fidelity real-time simulators. With few exceptions, developing and testing while connected to a HIL simulator is far more economical than on a physical plant.

    Reduce Risk, Increase Safety

    HIL simulation enables engineers to perform tests that would otherwise endanger physical plants and the people who work in them. Using HIL, engineers can perform even the most dangerous testing scenarios worry-free, thereby enhancing the safe operation of a plant.
