What Is SimCenter Udine?

SimCenter Udine is part of the global VI-grade SimCenter network—a group of engineering sites that enable companies to shift from physical testing to virtual simulation.
At the Udine facility, customers can access the complete range of VI-grade driving simulators (COMPACT, STATIC, and DiM series) and work directly with our software and hardware engineers to develop and validate new vehicle concepts.

Why Use a Driving Simulator?

Driving simulators are transforming how vehicles are designed, tested, and refined.
They provide reliable, fast, and repeatable data, allowing engineers to explore multiple design variants early in the development cycle.
By combining simulation and human feedback, teams can build better vehicles in less time, reducing cost and improving performance.

Driving simulators help you:

• Evaluate vehicle dynamics, ride, and comfort
• Test ADAS and autonomous driving functions
• Refine HMI and user experience
• Develop and validate motorsports applications
