Accelerate Automotive Design with Immersive Driving Simulation

SimCenter Tokyo, operated by VI-grade, provides advanced COMPACT and DESKTOP NVH simulators for detailed ride, handling, and sound evaluation, enabling automakers, suppliers, and research institutes to bridge the gap between physical testing and virtual vehicle development.

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 Tokyo

 

SimCenter Tokyo provides access to advanced driving simulators, helping engineers and designers move from physical testing to virtual vehicle development.
