Software
Predict today what may be relevant for the vehicle of the future! Our software solutions from the CarMaker product family help to integrate vehicle components into the full vehicle at an early stage and to save valuable time. Virtual prototypes enable the agile development of components and, subsequently, virtual test driving in realistic scenarios. Our entire software portfolio is geared towards the seamless application of model-, software-, hardware- and vehicle-in-the-loop methods, and can perfectly be integrated into already existing tool landscapes. In addition, our simulation software offers flexible options for test automation and scaling from cloud options to large HIL test benches.
Highlights CarMaker release 11
HD Scenarios in MovieNX
Five different, highly detailed scenarios in MovieNX show how realistic virtual test driving can be in parking garages, on the highway or on winding winter roads.
Powerful parallelization
Parallel computing of CPU-based sensor models further increases the simulation speed in addition to the already implemented parallelization or GPU-based sensors.
High overall performance
Scalability on local processing units and in cloud solutions ensures best-in-class performance and thus an optimal cost-benefit ratio with stationary hardware.
More realistic camera sensor models
Representation of various lens types and degrees of lens and windshield occlusion.
Validation of the ultrasonic sensor model
Validation of the ultrasonic sensor model in cooperation with a customer.
New models for powertrain applications
Extension of the powertrain portfolio with the parallel hybrid model (P3 hybrid), GTI GT-Suite v2022, AVL Cruise 2021.1 and 2021.2.
Simplified generation of complex scenarios
Busy scenarios with autonomous traffic objects that observe traffic and right-of-way rules can be created in complex road networks with fewer clicks.
New pseudocolors in MovieNX
Representation of a variety of classification options through different pseudeocolors in MovieNX for automatic annotation and training of AI algorithms.
Open programming interface for RSI
Open, programmable user interface for simulation of GPU-based RSI sensors and processing of raw sensor data.
CarMaker
CarMaker facilitates the development and test of cars and light-duty vehicles. Designed as an open integration and test platform, CarMaker can be applied throughout the entire development process – from MIL, SIL, HIL to VIL. CarMaker performs impressively well on notebooks, HPCs as well as in the cloud, guarantees increased productivity and thus helps to save significant amounts of money.
TruckMaker
TruckMaker offers the same advantages as CarMaker while, at the same time, being designed to meet development and test requirements of heavy-duty vehicles. Our customers benefit from the powerful models included in TruckMaker that are specifically tailored to the simulation of trucks, semi-trucks, busses and construction vehicles.
MotorcycleMaker
MotorcycleMaker from the CarMaker product family is geared towards the simulation and development of motorized two-wheelers such as motorcycles, e-bikes or scooters. The interaction between driver and two-wheeler can be modeled intuitively in maneuvers. With models developed specifically for two-wheelers, real test drives can be represented virtually and at an early stage. This allows to save time and money in the development process.
Add-ons
IPG Automotive offers additional modules, for example the Physical Sensor Models or SimNet, that are fully compatible with the CarMaker product family. The product portfolio also includes stand-alone applications such as the KnC Data Converter. Together, they support our customer’s development process according to their individual and specific needs.
