PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Strategic partnership combines Ansys' high-fidelity physics
simulation with best-in-class driving simulation from IPG
Automotive
- Ansys VRXPERIENCE and IPG Automotive's CarMaker will speed the
verification and validation of autonomous vehicles
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) and IPG Automotive are collaborating to
fast-track the creation, integration and validation of advanced
driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features and autonomous vehicles
(AVs). Combining Ansys® VRXPERIENCE® with IPG Automotive's
CarMaker will empower joint customers to virtually verify and
validate sensor design and performance, which will accelerate
development and time-to-market.
To meet rigorous safety standards, automotive OEMs and suppliers
must test complex interactions between ADAS features, like
automatic emergency braking or an autonomous vehicle and its
surrounding environment, traffic and weather across millions of
scenarios. Physical road testing would require billions
of miles of safety testing – which is extremely expensive and
time-consuming. Only simulation can bring AVs to market in our
lifetime, which is why OEMs depend on Ansys VRXPERIENCE to test,
validate and virtually experience AV performance.
Integrated within VRXPERIENCE, CarMaker is an open test
platform that can be applied throughout the entire development
process. CarMaker includes a complete environment comprised of
flexible models of intelligent drivers, detailed vehicles, roads
and traffic. The event and maneuver-based testing method ensures
that the flexibility and realistic execution of real-world test
driving are also features of virtual test driving.
"Valeo is a world leader in ADAS, and simulation plays a
key role in the design and validation of our products," said
Joachim Mathes, chief technical officer of Valeo's Comfort and
Driving Assistant Business Group. "Valeo strongly encouraged
Ansys and IPG Automotive's cooperation. The collaboration will
allow us to accurately simulate the physical properties of our
components in combination with real-time system behavior, including
vehicle dynamics. This will help us to go even further
in the verification and validation of new and innovative
ADAS and AV features."
VRXPERIENCE provides users with HMI (human machine interface)
testing, physical sensor simulation, embedded software controls
integration, headlamp simulation and links to simulation data
management and systems safety analysis.
"As vehicle systems continue to become more complex, it is
increasingly important that they are tested under realistic
conditions," said Martin Elbs,
general manager, sales and business development at IPG Automotive.
"Together with Ansys, we are helping automotive OEMs improve the
safety and reliability of AVs and ADAS while reducing cost and time
to market."
"Our partnership with IPG Automotive will enable our mutual
customers to use an industry-leading driving simulator seamlessly
integrated into our VRXPERIENCE solution," said Shane Emswiler, senior vice president of
products at Ansys. "Through this partnership, we are providing
mutual customers with the necessary technologies to improve and
expedite ADAS and AV development and delivery, also leading to
reduced accidents on the road thanks to improved safety
measures."
