• Promotes innovation: simulation of all modern variants due to comprehensive model libraries
• Improves safety: vehicle dynamics testing right through to the limits
• Cuts costs: simulation on the HiL test stand is ten times more cost-effective than corresponding test drives and works even without expensive prototypes

Focused competence for vehicle dynamics

Customers have been benefiting from our expertise in the field of vehicle dynamics for cars and commercial vehicles for more than 20 years. These many years of experience have resulted in our highly flexible simulation solutions for all applications and limit cases. Continuous further development in numerous projects with a clear focus on customer benefit guarantees highly efficient and versatile application. The range of applications for our vehicle dynamics models extends from analysis in pre-development and the coordination, validation and testing of vehicle components and complete vehicles right through to driving simulators that provide a realistic driving experience.

Application examples of our simulation software and engineering services:

• ABS / ESP / ASR development and testing on the HiL to evaluate the software states of ECUs or for testing and verifying functions
• Steering system test stands and driving simulators with feedback of realistic rack-and-pinion and steering forces or for testing power steering
• Testing active chassis control systems with the aid of real-time-capable MBS axle models
• Design of all-wheel-drive concepts
• Development of X-by-wire technologies
• Autonomous driving in the limit range with our fully developed driver model
• Virtual axle and tire test stands with generation and validation of model parameters
• Dynamic generation of load profiles for powertrain test stands
• Homologation of ECUs for commercial vehicles
• Trailer stabilization
• Testing the interdependencies of networked ECUs in the complete vehicle
• Modeling and evaluation of real-time-capable vehicle dynamics models and components

Our wide range of methods, tools and experience ensures that we can provide the optimum solution for your requirements:

• The open simulation framework DYNA4 enables vehicle dynamics simulation (DYNA4 Car Professional) to be performed at the highest level, embedded in a highly flexible complete vehicle simulation environment
  
• DYNA4 adaptations: we integrate your model components and working processes into an efficient overall solution
  
• Development of automation routines for data calibration, validation, and documentation
  
• Proven methods for lap time optimization or vehicle validation
  
• Interfaces to multibody models, e.g. from Simpack, ensure improved continuity in the development process
  
• Specific model development, e.g. for brake hydraulics and brake pneumatics
  
• Use of different tire models (TM-Easy, MF-Tyre, FTire, etc.)
  
• Development of tailor-made models according to your requirements, e.g. in Matlab/Simulink, Dymola, C or C++.
