VI-grade

🏁 Race to Reality: Elkhart Lake's Road America, Inc. in VI-WorldSim Located in Wisconsin, Road America is a renowned motorsports complex known for its 4.048-mile, 14-turn course. It's one of the most challenging and scenic tracks in North America and has hosted prestigious events such as #NASCAR, #IndyCar, and #IMSA since 1955. We’re thrilled to showcase the digitized version of Road America in VI-WorldSim, our fully integrated graphic environment. It can be driven both on our driving simulators and used independently to focus on offline experiments. Users can simulate various conditions found on the actual track, all from the comfort of their office, saving valuable time and resources. 🔗 Interested?

It’s official — Formula SAE Italy has kicked off! 🚀 As the Formula SAE Italy competition starts, we’re reflecting on the importance of HiL simulation techniques. At #Meccanica 42 we develop advanced test benches and collaborate with industry leaders like VI-grade to deliver cutting-edge simulation solutions. Our systems seamlessly integrate with VI-grade’s real-time machines. For example, at the last Zero Prototypes (https://bit.ly/3XvAOFA) Summit we showcased our EPSiL and BrakeiL working in real time with their DiM150 simulator, allowing users to witness the test benches in action. This technology not only reduces development time and costs but also enhances precision and safety. Make sure to stop by our stand to learn more about our solutions and explore career opportunities. See you in Varano! #Meccanica42 #AutomotiveInnovation #AutomotiveSolutions #AutomotiveEngineering #AutomotiveTechnology #FormulaSAE #FSAE #Formulastudent

📢 The September issue of Automotive Testing Technology International is out and we were featured in a number of great technical articles! 1️⃣ The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is revolutionizing tire development at their Luxembourg and Akron, Ohio centers with our #DiM250 simulators, transitioning from traditional "build and test" to a virtual tire development process. (Page 72) 2️⃣ EDAG Group presented their new Zero Prototype Lab in Wolfsburg, featuring our DiM500 FSS, COMPACT FSS, and AutoHawk HiL platform. (Page 64) 3️⃣ Ford Deutschland is leveraging our STATIC driving simulator in Cologne to enhance ADAS development, optimizing lane-keeping systems and reducing the need for road tests. (Page 79) 4️⃣ Finally, we presented our latest innovation: Driver-in-Motion Dynamic Full Spectrum Simulator (DiM FSS), which also won the "Hardware Innovation of the Year" award at this year's Testing Expo in Stuttgart!
