Accelerate Automotive Development with Virtual Driver-in-the-Loop Simulation

SimCenter Yantai, operated by Applus+ IDIADA and powered by VI-grade technology, offers advanced Driver-in-the-Loop simulation for faster, more efficient automotive development in China.

What is a SimCenter?


A SimCenter is a specialized facility where engineers, designers, and test drivers can access VI-grade driving simulators and expert support to develop and validate vehicle designs virtually.

Part of a global network of simulation hubs, each SimCenter offers pay-per-use access to professional-grade tools that merge the benefits of simulation and physical testing, accelerating innovation while reducing cost and development time.

In the fast-paced automotive industry, engineers and designers face constant pressure to deliver reliable vehicle data quickly and to evaluate multiple design variants from the earliest stages.

Traditional physical testing is time-consuming and costly, often delaying innovation and increasing development risks.

The challenge: how to accelerate design validation and decision-making without compromising accuracy, performance, or cost-efficiency.

Driver-in-the-Loop Simulation at SimCenter Yantai


SimCenter Yantai provides access to state-of-the-art Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) technology, helping engineers and designers shift from physical testing to virtual simulation.

Developed by Applus+ IDIADA in partnership with VI-grade, this facility combines world-class simulation expertise and advanced motion technology to enable early validation of vehicle performance, safety, and driving experience.

At the core of SimCenter Yantai is VI-grade’s DiM250 DYNAMIC Driving Simulator:

  • 9 degrees of freedom motion platform
  • Accurate reproduction of both high-frequency and large vehicle motions
  • Ideal for testing ride, handling, ADAS, and autonomous functions in the virtual world

SimCenter Yantai is part of the global VI-grade SimCenter network, offering pay-per-use access to professional simulation tools and engineering support.
