Simulink

Software In the Loop (SIL)

Develop new controller designs using MATLAB/Simulink or other software, and run them with our vehicle models.

HIL

Hardware In the Loop (HIL)

Our software runs on major real-time systems such as dSPACE, LabVIEW-RT, RT-Lab, LabCar, and others.

Driving Simulators

Driving Simulators

Our math models are used in over 140 driving simulators, ranging from PCs with game controls to the Toyota full-vehicle simulator.

Accurate and Fast Vehicle Simulation

Mechanical Simulation Corporation provides the most accurate and computationally efficient methods for simulating the dynamic performance of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and a wide range of specialty vehicles.

After decades of research, development, and proving ground validation by worldwide vehicle manufactures, our VehicleSim suite of car, truck, and motorcycle simulation products are universally the preferred tools for vehicle dynamics, vehicle control development, and test engineering.

Open Architecture for Seamless Integration

While many of our customers are vehicle dynamics experts, a growing number of engineers from other disciplines use our VehicleSim architecture to integrate and test their own adaptive vehicle sub- systems. Whether it's adding advanced control systems, or extending part of the vehicle model (tires, powertrain, etc.), VehicleSim products offer seamless communication with your software (SIL) and hardware (HIL) technologies.
