CarSim simulates the dynamic behavior of passenger cars, racecars, light trucks, and utility vehicles. CarSim animates simulated tests and outputs over 800 calculated variables to plot and analyze, or export to other software such as MATLAB, Excel, and optimization tools.
CarSim is designed to seamlessly communicate with your existing modeling (MIL), software (SIL) and hardware (HIL) technologies. This lets your team focus on algorithm design – not on writing custom testing code that only roughly approximates real-world scenarios and provides limited test conditions.
- Modular Vehicle Definition: each vehicle sub-system is defined with discrete properties and performance tables. This modular, parameter-based architecture lets you modify the behavior of any system and lets you run simulations any time during the design cycle – other simulation tools can only be used after the entire vehicle is designed.
- Integrate your own technologies using standard design tools: Mechanical Simulation provides seamless interfaces to other standard simulation and design tools such as Simulink, LabVIEW, and ASCET. Advanced users can develop stand alone technologies using Visual Studio and CarSim’s API.
- VS Commands: this powerful scripting language provides tools to automatically control test runs, extend our vehicle model, control complex driving maneuvers, and model auxiliary sensors.
