Engineering Services

Although our main business is to provide the best software in the field, we can also help with specialized projects involving our software.

Our Teams

• We have a team of mechanical engineers with decades of experience in vehicle dynamics behavior, and developing models that replicate that behavior. They also develop new applications and provide highly informed tech support.
• Our team of software engineers provides advanced tools for database management, visualization, connecting with other tools in a "stack" or "tool chain", and have provided highly automated building and testing of our tools on multiple operating systems.
• Our art team has decades of experience providing 3D digital artwork for video gaming (prior to joining Mechanical Simulation) and now provide art for vehicles, environments, and pedestrians.
• Several of the engineers develop and test versions of our software for real-time (RT) platforms, and routinely update and test are new versions. They provide tech support and sometimes consulting for labs using our sofware in RT applications.

Custom Math Models

We provide unique math models for vehicle axle/trailer configurations that are not included in the standard CarSim and TruckSim packages. Our advanced model development technology allows us to create new math models in a fraction of the time (and cost) that were needed in the past, while retaining our high efficiency and compatibility with Simlink and other third-party software.

Data Sets and Animations

If you have a project where you need a data set for a specific vehicle or class of vehicles, and do not have the time or experience to develop a representative data set, then we might be able to help.

CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim include many vehicle shapes for immediate use. We can also create custom shapes to be used to give your project a professional edge by providing realistic animations. Match the results from your state-of-the-art simulation with high fidelity animation shapes to enhance presentations to management.

Using custom shapes gives you these advantages:

• Built to fit your specifications
• Proprietary details can be kept confidential
• Rapid turn around time
• Optimized for best animator performance
• No limits in distribution
