CarMaker – Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Tool
What is CarMaker?
IPG Automotive’s CarMaker is a comprehensive software tool for the simulation and testing of vehicle dynamics in a virtual environment. CarMaker enables engineers to create realistic simulations of vehicle systems, including powertrains, suspensions, steering, and braking systems. This allows for the evaluation of vehicle performance under a range of driving conditions, such as different road surfaces, weather conditions, and traffic scenarios. CarMaker is widely used in the automotive industry for the development and testing of vehicle prototypes, as well as for the design of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies.
What are the benefits of using CarMaker?
Comprehensive simulation capabilities: CarMaker offers a wide range of simulation capabilities for vehicle dynamics, powertrain, ADAS, and autonomous driving. It enables engineers to simulate complex scenarios, such as multi-vehicle interactions, and to test various driving situations, such as emergency maneuvers or extreme weather conditions.
Open architecture: CarMaker has an open architecture that allows for easy integration with other simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems. This makes it easier for engineers to build customized simulation setups and to connect CarMaker to other tools used in their development processes.
Realistic simulation environment: CarMaker provides a highly realistic simulation environment, with accurate representations of vehicle behavior, road surfaces, and traffic scenarios. This enables engineers to evaluate the performance of their systems under realistic conditions, without the need for physical prototypes.
User-friendly interface: CarMaker has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to set up and run simulations. It also provides a range of analysis tools and visualization options, making it easier for engineers to interpret simulation results and to identify areas for improvement.
Customer support: IPG Automotive provides excellent customer support for CarMaker, with training, consulting, and technical support services available to help users get the most out of the software. This ensures that users can quickly resolve any issues and can maximize the value of their investment in CarMaker.
Overall, the combination of comprehensive simulation capabilities, open architecture, realistic simulation environment, user-friendly interface, and strong customer support make CarMaker a highly competitive option for vehicle simulation and testing.
