Challenge: Virtual Vehicle Development is Growing in Complexity

▪ Companies are deepening virtual development

– Increasing reliance on system-level simulation for
development
– Reducing scope of physical prototypes towards
confirmation and final validation
– Focus on powertrain, vehicle dynamics and ADAS / AD

▪ Common challenges
Access to “right level” Integration of both Deploying models to
fidelity models across physics and software users who aren’t tool
organization models experts

Solution: Virtual Vehicle Composer App Makes Model Building Easy
Access to “right level” Integration of both
fidelity models across physics and software
organization models
Deploying models to
users who aren’t tool
experts

▪ Engineering Benefits
– Gives controls team plant models to
test their algorithms
– Gives design team system-level
model to assess impact
– Greatly reduces effort and modeling
expertise required to build closed-
loop virtual vehicle models
– Give users freedom to customize with
their own plant / controller models
