Mechanical Simulation CarSim 2017

Introduction to Mechanical Simulation CarSim 2017

Mechanical Simulation CarSim 2017 is a software designed for simulating the performance of passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks with accuracy and efficiency.

Overview

With two decades of real-world validation, CarSim is the preferred tool for analyzing vehicle dynamics, developing active controllers, calculating performance characteristics, and engineering active safety systems. It is widely used by automotive engineers, OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, universities, and government research labs.

Features

• Utilized by 7 of the top 10 automotive OEMs
• Provides accurate predictions that align closely with test results
• Standalone application without the need for additional software
• Offers a standard interface to MATLAB/Simulink
• Enables the creation of complex scenarios and test event sequences

Use Cases

CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim are actively used in over 110 OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, 200 universities, and government research labs. The software's efficient parametric math models allow for system-level vehicle dynamics behavior reproduction, controlled through a user-friendly GUI for engineers.
