Vehicle Simulation Products

Mechanical Simulation produces and distributes software tools for simulating and analyzing the dynamic behavior of motor vehicles in response to steering, braking, and acceleration control inputs. These software tools are extensively validated and correlated to real world results as measured and observed by many automotive OEMs around the world.

CarSim simulates cars, light trucks, and SUV's (with or without trailers).	TruckSim simulates vehicles with dual wheels, multiple axles, and multiple trailers.
BikeSim simulates motorcycles and scooters.	SuspensionSim simulates K&C tests for use with CarSim and TruckSim.

The simulation packages share many technical features: a user-friendly graphical interface and database; a 3D animator with advanced display and one-click ease of use; a built-in plotter with automatic labeling and scaling; and math models that have been validated by decades of research and yet run significantly faster than real time.

The simulation packages allow you to extend the models using the built-in VehicleSim command language and/or external software such as MATLAB/Simulink, LabView, C code, and others. They work well with third party software for automating analyses, such as DOE and optimization. And they can be run in real-time with hardware in the loop (HIL) or as driving simulators.
