As automotive manufacturers compete on features of efficiency and safety, they are also battling to provide the best driving experience for their customers. As a result, vehicle engineering is becoming more complex, involving multiple disciplines. There is a growing desire to provide test drivers and evaluators with simulated driving experiences, so that their feedback can be incorporated early in the design process. Based on this, automakers are introducing a new element in the complex assessment process between virtual prototyping and vehicle on-road testing.
With support from Maplesoft, VI-grade, an engineering simulation software provider, has produced the award-winning, breakthrough driving simulator technology, VI-DriveSim Dynamic. This highend driving simulator allows automotive OEMs and racing teams to test full vehicle configurations, from the engine through the transmission to the suspension and tires, using a human driver and a virtual vehicle.
