(Maplesoft: Waterloo, ON) -- Maplesoft, a provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science, and mathematics, has announced a new product that integrates MapleSim, the company’s physical modeling tool, with vehicle dynamics tools from VI-grade. The MapleSim Connector for VI-CarRealTime allows engineers to incorporate high-fidelity, multidomain models created in MapleSim into the real-time vehicle simulation environment of VI-CarRealTime.

MapleSim is a Modelica-based physical modeling and simulation tool that applies modern techniques to dramatically reduce model development and analysis time while producing fast, high-fidelity simulations. VI-CarRealTime provides a fully validated real-time vehicle simulation environment that automotive engineers can use to optimize vehicle designs and control system performance. By using VI-CarRealTime, Vehicle Dynamics engineers can also perform large design of experiments (DOE) and multi-objective optimization studies quickly and easily.
