VI-grade Announces Major Update of Real-Time Software and NVH Simulator Software Suites
Udine, Italy, June 29th, 2022 – VI-grade, the simulation and driving simulator company that accelerates product innovation by bridging the gap between simulation and physical testing, today announced the 2022.1 release of its main software products for real-time simulation and driving simulators. The release includes major product updates and several usability enhancements for VI-CarRealTime, VI-WorldSim, VI-DriveSim and for the whole NVH Simulator product suite.
The 2022.1 release of VI-CarRealTime, VI-grade’s flagship real-time vehicle simulation environment, features multiple benefits for users:
The 2022.1 software release, including a detailed list of new features and enhancements, is now available for download. Registered users can access and download version 2022.1 by logging into /en/reserved_area/software_download/VI-grade_Software_Suite_2022_1/
The 2022.1 release of VI-CarRealTime, VI-grade’s flagship real-time vehicle simulation environment, features multiple benefits for users:
- The Solid Axle suspension model is now based on a separate body representing the axle, leading to a more accurate computation of steering dynamics
- The Steering Subsystem Editor is now completely redesigned to be more intuitive and to allow better control of its different elements
- The new Yaw Moment Event enables to generate a representation of the vehicle maneuvering envelope computing its dynamic equilibrium at constant speed over a given range of side slip and steering
- The Adams Car Interface now supports a side-by-side installation mode, enabling the usage of a single Adams Car installation with multiple versions of VI-CarRealTime
- An enhanced model of the sky, featuring volumetric clouds and other atmospheric visual improvements, more accurate illumination at night and presence of the moon
- AI controlled vehicles are now able to swerve around obstacles
- Any vehicle may be given exclusive control to the external SDK process independently from the behavior specified in the scenario
- The Simulink library has been expanded, providing access to trigger activation, weather conditions, vehicle lights and control actions generated by the AI module.
- A brand-new user interface enabling to manage all driving simulator subsystems from a single application
- The MotionCueing module reduces the actuation latency for cable-driven simulators thanks to an increased operative frequency.
- The new MultiCueing module coordinates the usage of the VI-ActiveSeat unit with the motion platform actions.
- All-new NVH Simulator toolbox featuring many new capabilities and enhancements: full capabilities of previous toolbox, Magic Brush sound editing multi-tool, Wav edit (expanded functionality with trim, fade, invert), Order Designer (expanded to create EV orders), Road/Engine Masking playback improvements
- NVH Simulator Data Preparation Software enriched with several new capabilities and improvements: High-res order display for easy order identification in EVs, Auto order identification, Integrated masking noise calculation for engine and road masking, Batch Processing
- NVH Simulator recording improvements (Multi-channel / Multi-sound-object recording, simplified output options)
- Support of new VI-WorldSim version and scenarios (Calabogie racetrack, Cityscape)
- Support of assembly ID switching for QNX Liveamp
- MME audio output option in VI-SimSound
The 2022.1 software release, including a detailed list of new features and enhancements, is now available for download. Registered users can access and download version 2022.1 by logging into /en/reserved_area/software_download/VI-grade_Software_Suite_2022_1/
