Automotive simulator is a complex solution for model-based system calculations of dynamic characteristics for automotive components and assemblies in real-time. To increase efficiency and reduce risk, engineers can test ECUs virtually, using software models to simulate various components. All automotive components present in the simulator can be tested both independently and in combination with each other.
RT Dynamic provides an advanced six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) rigid two-axle vehicle body model to accurately calculate longitudinal, lateral, vertical, pitch, roll, and yaw motion vehicle dynamics. This model includes calculations for the rigid body vehicle dynamics, wind drag, inertial load, and coordinate transformations, as well as a library of pre-built vehicle models that can be used to quickly construct complex vehicle models. Additionally, the 6DOF model offers improved reliability and accuracy of simulations, allowing for more accurate predictions of vehicle performance.
RT Dynamics provides an API that enables developers to create models of vehicle components like engines, transmissions, brakes, and steering systems in various programming and modeling environments. The API includes features such as a real-time dynamics processor and a graphical user interface for building, configuring, and simulating the components. Additionally, RT Dynamics offers a library of pre-built components that can be used to quickly construct vehicle models.
Our ADAS concept represents a paradigm shift in intelligent system design, leveraging cutting-edge sensors and processors to deliver real-time insights and proactive assistance. Our ADAS concept transcends traditional applications, offering scalable solutions for diverse sectors including autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure.
