Automotive

SIMPACK is a general purpose three dimensional Multi-Body Simulation (MBS) software which is uniquely suited to the analysis and design of any type of on- or off-road vehicles. SIMPACK Automotive is the world’s MBS market leader for commercial vehicles and is continually gaining ground in all other automotive sectors.

 

   

The modular structure of SIMPACK models enables easy model generation and exchange of components for analyses where different levels of fidelity are required. One such example is rigid sub-frames for low frequency handling as opposed to flexible sub-frames for higher frequency comfort analyses. Drivelines, engines, and detailed steering systems can all be easily inserted into complete vehicle models. External components such as test rigs, track layouts and road surfaces can be selected for simulating different user defined manoeuvres. Multiple load cases with different model variants can be fully automated, including report generation.

The inherent stability and robustness of the SIMPACK solver enables extreme non-linear transient manoeuvres where shock contact is involved (e.g. emergency breaking, sudden clutch releases, loss of ground contact, etc). The complete range of analyses from low frequency suspension kinematics all the way to non-linear transients in the acoustic range can be undertaken using one model database.
