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.
