Vehicle Dynamics

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics offers a complete toolset to test and optimize vehicle comfort as well as ride and handling behavior from the early concept stage onwards. It is able to assess the interaction between the vehicle, its key subsystems (steering, brakes, suspension) and their controllers to ensure optimal driving pleasure, comfort and enhanced safety.

To meet the increasingly shorter full vehicle development process, LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics presents a modular approach and functional models for vehicle dynamics study.

Users can create functional models for vehicle dynamics and carefully evaluate the full vehicle behavior. The AMESim modularity, excellent solver capabilities and specific physical libraries open up integration possibilities for OEMs and suppliers.

LMS Imagine.Lab Vehicle Dynamics delivers a modular and open architecture, which creates possibilities to share libraries and subsystem models not only between internal departments but also with external supplier companies. The open communication possibilities help to effortlessly link 1D AMESim simulation studies with in-depth 3D multi-body analysis tools. The solution comes with a large set of dedicated tools especially useful for vehicle dynamics purposes, including data management, parametric functions to modify the shape of kinematics tables, post-treatment and optimization tools. The strong integration capabilities of the vehicle dynamics engineering process provide a detailed insight into the numerous component and system interactions that determine a vehicle’s ride and handling profile.

Features

Comprehensive vehicle dynamics library for real-time simulation or real-time hardware
Open tool for vehicle data management of OEMs and suppliers process
Parametric functions to modify the shape of kinematics tables in order to optimize the vehicle behavior

Benefits

Analyze global vehicle behavior without use of detailed models of suspension architecture
Design vehicle architectures with an advanced real-time physical system approach
Test, analyze and refine your technical choices thanks to a large range of post-processing tools (linear analyses, optimization, FFT)
Choose the complexity degree of your subsystem thanks to connections to other AMESim libraries (mechanics, hydraulics, electro-mechanical)

Covering a range of industries, LMS application cases let you discover how LMS solutions help our customers solve their real-life engineering challenges.

Messier-Bugatti optimized the A380 nosewheel steering and braking system with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim

To save weight on the A380 superjumbo aircraft, Messier-Bugatti used LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim and the Ground Loads solution to design an innovative decentralized hydraulic generation system with lightweight micro-pumps delivering power locally to emergency braking and landing gear steering systems.

Renault applies AMESim to streamline its cooling and air-conditioning systems development process

To comply with the multiple constraints relative to vehicle designs that affect the thermal management of underhood systems, and to ensure high-quality passenger comfort, Renault decided to rely more on simulation to engineer the underhood thermal environment. The French car maker deployed the AMESim solution as a collaborative system simulation platform.
