Mechanical Simulation Corporation

Mechanical Simulation Corporation 是世界领导者 在用于模拟的高级软件的开发和分发中 涉及三维动态车辆响应之间交互作用的车辆行为， 高级、控制器、驾驶员控制和 3D 道路。成立于1996年， Mechanical Simulation 提供汽车、卡车和摩托车仿真 为全球 110 多家 OEM 提供包、培训和持续支持，以及 一级供应商，以及 200 多所大学和政府研究团体。 我们还提供用于 1400 多种驾驶的车辆动力学模型 模拟。密歇根州安娜堡总部与全球协调 销售代理 为我们的软件提供本地分销和技术支持。

2022 年，Mechanical Simulation 成为总部位于加利福尼亚州山景城的 Applied Intuition， inc. 的一部分。

车辆模拟

我们软件的模拟结构称为 VehicleSim （VS）。CarSim、TruckSim 和 BikeSim 是 VehicleSim 产品，可提供最准确的 以及以某种形式可能的现实预测 大多数人都可以轻松使用 工程师和技术人员。近年来，仿真已扩展到包括复杂地形、其他“参与者”，如交通车辆、行人、交通标志和信号，以及自动驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）和自动驾驶汽车（AV）仿真场景所需的内置传感器。

每个软件包都包括 VS 浏览器（GUI 和数据库管理）、VS Visualizer（动画和绘图）、实用工具（如 VS 场景生成器）、内置帮助和用于详细数学模型的 VS Solver 程序。数学模型可以单独运行，也可以使用第三方仿真软件运行 例如 Simulink、LabVIEW、ETAS ASCET 等。

VS 求解器在 32 位和 64 位 Windows 操作系统上的运行速度比实时快，并且可在许多第三方实时系统上进行硬件在环 （HIL） 测试。CarSim 和 TruckSim 数学模型也用于驾驶 模拟器，从廉价的基于 PC 的系统到全动态模拟器。

SuspensionSim 是 VehicleSim 的第四款产品。在共享架构时， 其他产品的GUI、数据库和可视化工具，不同之处在于 提供计算准静态平衡条件的多体程序 用于汽车、卡车和摩托车的悬架。

Mechanical Simulation Corporation is the world leader in the development and distribution of advanced software used to simulate vehicle behavior involving interactions between the 3D dynamic vehicle response, advanced, controllers, driver controls, and 3D roads. Established in 1996, Mechanical Simulation provides car, truck and motorcycle simulation packages, training and ongoing support worldwide to more than 110 OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, and over 200 universities and government research groups. We also provide the vehicle dynamics models used in more than 1400 driving simulators. The Ann Arbor, Michigan, headquarters coordinates with global sales agents who provide local distribution and tech support for our software.

In 2022 Mechanical Simulation became part of Applied Intuition, inc., headquartered in Mountain View, California. 

VehicleSim
The simulation structure for our software is called VehicleSim (VS). CarSim, TruckSim, and BikeSim are VehicleSim products that provide the most accurate and realistic predictions that are possible, in a form that can be easily used by most engineers and technical staff. In recent years, the simulations have been extended to include complicated terrain, other “actors” such as traffic vehicles, pedestrians, traffic signs and signals, and built-in sensors that are needed for simulation scenarios for automatic driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AVs).

Each package includes the VS Browser (GUI and database management), VS Visualizer (animation and plotting), utility tools such as the VS Scene Builder, built-in help, and VS Solver programs for the detailed math models. The math models run alone or with third-party simulation software such as Simulink, LabVIEW, ETAS ASCET, and others.

VS Solvers run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows OS faster than real-time and are available on many third-party real-time systems for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. The CarSim and TruckSim math models are also used in driving simulators, ranging from inexpensive PC-based systems to full-motion simulators.

SuspensionSim is the fourth VehicleSim product. While sharing the architecture, GUI, database, and visualization tools of the other products, it differs by providing a multibody program that calculates quasi-static equilibrium conditions for suspensions in cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
