As the automotive world continues to advance and rely more on virtual development to reduce its dependance on prototypes, the speed, accuracy, and breadth of simulations needs to evolve. Once a solid foundation for virtual development has been established at the OEM level, the next step is to increase the fidelity of the vehicle subsystems through the integration of supplier-based models and HiL’s. One promising path is to work with our simulator partner VI-Grade to align on a streamlined process, in conjunction with OEM suppliers, to make model integration easier and earlier within an OEM’s existing virtual development process and ecosystem.
