Advanced Simulation Tools

These days, vehicles are very much software-defined products. Their development and validation is highly complex, and electrification further increases this. At the same time, there is growing pressure to get to market faster and faster.

This requires a level of efficiency that cannot be achieved with hardware-oriented development – but can be with simulation solutions. Our simulation solutions support you throughout the development V-process – from setting targets, to system and component design, to validation. This enables you to shift important decisions to early phases of development, thereby saving time and reducing costs.

Faster Processes Despite High Complexity

Develop, verify, validate – these days you can complete these tasks much faster and better virtually than using components or systems that actually exist. Furthermore, narrow tolerance ranges can be illustrated much more precisely and efficiently as a simulation than in physical reality.

The Advanced Simulation Technologies (AST) division – one of the three pillars of AVL – provides you with everything you need for this. Virtual Twins give you detailed insights into the behavior and interaction of components, systems, and entire vehicles – long before they exist physically.

The simulation solutions are based on extensive knowledge and cover all aspects of vehicle development – irrespective of the vehicle type, propulsion type, or level of automation.

Your Development Advantage: The Virtual Twin

Simulations enable you to accelerate all areas of your processes: whether electrification, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD), emissions, vehicle technology, or data intelligence.

Your key here is the Virtual Twin – a virtual image of the vehicle or individual components that contains all relevant data, including associated control functions. The Virtual Twin covers the complete product, the mechanics, the electrics, its software, and the physical behavior. This allows you to identify problems and potential errors early on at every stage of development.
