Mechanical Simulation Corp. in Ann Arbor has released the 2023.0 versions of its VehicleSim software products: CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim.
Mechanical Simulation’s products — CarSim, TruckSim, BikeSim, and SuspensionSim — provide accurate and realistic predictions of real-world vehicle behavior. Mechanical Simulation supports more than 200 OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as well as hundreds of universities and government research groups worldwide.
Part of the company’s success, it says, has been its ability to add features and simulation capabilities supporting development of the latest technologies and trends. This newest version of the programs add a “terramechanical” tire model to simulate soft soil conditions, a vehicle math model reorganized into four stages that can be linked separately to external software, tighter connections with Siemens MF-Tyre and COSIN Ftire external tire models, support for Speedgoat RT platform, support of Unreal with dSPACE RT, and a preview of its high-fidelity animator based on the Unreal Engine.
“Our new soft-soil tire model greatly expands Mechanical Simulation’s core capabilities and is a competitive differentiator,” says Jeremy Miller, director of engineering at Mechanical Simulation. “Engineers who develop vehicles that operate in off-road environments such as agricultural, construction, and military applications can now bring their products to market faster and safer with the help of CarSim and TruckSim.”
