This release enables the automatic identification of tyre parameters from road measurements. The new feature has been added to the already proven identification of weight distribution, driving losses, suspension, electric drive unit, HV battery, internal combustion engine, brakes and steering system parameters.
Aiming to reduce time and costs during the development process, the VMF approach allows digital-twin creation using vehicle measurements and a minimum number of key parameters.
Additional vehicle template databases from different classes and segments are included as examples. The release also includes support for custom 3D tracks, allowing users to add a unique visualization of roads and environments.
Driveability simulation of battery electric vehicles achieves high accuracy with a new elastic motor shaft model and improved control of torque build-up. Additionally, a multi-speed gearbox for each electric motor is now available.
Automotive industry is steering efforts towards holistic product development; thus, this release is also part of AVL vSUITE™. It is possible to use different VSM add-ons such as Commercial Vehicle and Tractors or High Performance and Lap Time.
