Real-time testing
Mechanical Simulation's CarSim RT (real-time) testing software is suitable for a range of hardware-in-the-loop suppliers. It simulates the dynamic vehicle behavior of light trucks and utility vehicles, while the company's TuckSim RT software simulates behavior of heavy-duty vehicles with dual wheels, asymmetric steering systems, multiple axles, and single or multiple trailers. The programs animate simulated tests and generate over 500 input variables that can be plotted and analyzed. Vehicle and chassis settings can be optimized with any design of experiments software. The math models run with a high efficiency, while the RT versions are slowed down to match real-time exactly. Live plotting and analysis options can be applied to the model.
