Mechanical Simulation Corporation

Mechanical Simulation Corporation is the world leader in the development and distribution of advanced software used to simulate vehicle behavior involving interactions between the 3D dynamic vehicle response, advanced, controllers, driver controls, and 3D roads. Established in 1996, Mechanical Simulation provides car, truck and motorcycle simulation packages, training and ongoing support to more than 30 OEMs, over 60 Tier 1 suppliers and more than 150 universities and government research groups worldwide. The Ann Arbor, Michigan, headquarters coordinates with global sales agents who provide local distribution and tech support for our software.

The simulation design is called VehicleSim (VS). CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim are VehicleSim products that provide the most accurate and realistic predictions that are possible, in a form that can be easily used by most engineers and technical staff. Each package includes the VS database browser, plotter, animator, on-line help and solver programs for the detailed math models. The math models run alone or with third-party simulation software such as Simulink, LabVIEW, ETAS ASCET, and others.

The solvers run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS faster than real time, and are available on many third-part real-time systems for hardware in the loop (HIL) testing. The CarSim and TruckSim math models are also used in driving simulators, ranging from inexpensive PC-based systems to full-motion simulators.
