Cranes brings simulation models to the automotive mkt

BANGALORE:

Cranes Software International Ltd., a global scientific and engineering software

solutions provider, in association with dSPACE GmbH, has announced the

availability of Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) - Real-Time Simulation Models

for power train and vehicle dynamics — for the Indian automobile industry.

ASMs

are open Simulink models for the real-time simulation of standard automotive

applications such as diesel engines, gasoline engines and vehicle dynamics. The

models are typically used on a dSPACE Simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing

of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) or during the design phase of controller

algorithms for early validation by offline simulation.








Being
complete and independent models, ASMs support all the relevant phases of the

model-based development process. A software called ModelDesk has been specially

developed for users to parameterize the vehicle dynamics model. All the Simulink

blocks in the model are visible to make it easy to add or replace components

with custom models and adapt the vehicle's properties perfectly to individual

projects. ASM's standardized interfaces allow models to be easily expanded to

meet specific requirements or even create a virtual vehicle.

“India

is emerging as a global automobile giant and the automotive industry has made

pioneering efforts in adopting modern technologies in recent years,” said Pradeep Kumar,

senior

vice president, Cranes Software. 

“We

are excited to be working with dSPACE GmbH to provide real-time simulation

models to the Indian automotive industry With the availability of ASM, we will

now be able to offer optimum value-added solutions to our customers in India.

The

real time simulation models for Powertrain and vehicle dynamics include real

time as well as offline simulation, Virtual

vehicle simulations with engine, drive train, and vehicle dynamics and

turn-key

solution with dSPACE Simulator.
