Digital reality solutions leader, Hexagon’s partnership with professional driving simulator solutions provider, VI-grade to make way for high-fidelity vehicle simulators.
Hexagon AB's Adams Real Time multibody dynamics simulation software is now validated for use on VI-grade Driving Simulators, as recently announced by the Manufacturing Intelligence division of Hexagon. This allows carmakers and tier-one automotive suppliers to develop safe and desirable driver experiences without physical prototyping efficiently.
Automotive engineers use Adams to create virtual vehicle prototypes and to bridge the gap between physical tests. Adams Real Time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) high-fidelity simulations are used to evaluate engineering decisions for the ride, handling, and durability targets to produce safe and comfortable vehicles.
VI-grade, a leading provider of driving simulator technology, allows engineers to physically test Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) models without needing system or vehicle prototypes.
Adams Real Time is now VI-Certified, which only includes third-party solutions that pass stringent real-time reliability and safety tests. In addition, Hexagon relied on its years of collaboration with VI-grade to bring high-fidelity physics to VI-grade's experiential driving platforms. This makes it easier to replicate on-road experiences in the manufacturer's test facilities, where engineers and focus groups can improve future vehicles.
“The program will reduce the integration burden on our customers by ensuring that the best of our third-party partner software tools work seamlessly on our simulators. Through our partnership, Hexagon and VI-grade are providing a valuable, time-saving solution that makes it easier for our customers to use virtual prototyping with confidence to save cost and get safe, compelling products to market on time.”
