Cranes Software International Ltd., a global scientific and engineering software solutions provider, in association with dSPACE GmbH, announced the availability of Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) - Real-Time Simulation Models for power train and vehicle dynamics – for the Indian automobile industry. ASMs are open Simulink models for the real-time simulation of standard automotive applications such as diesel engines, gasoline engines and vehicle dynamics. The models are typically used on a dSPACE Simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) or during the design phase of controller algorithms for early validation by offline simulation. Being complete and independent models, ASMs support all the relevant phases of the model-based development process. A software called ModelDesk has been specially developed for users to parameterize the vehicle dynamics model. All the Simulink blocks in the model are visible to make it easy to add or replace components with custom models and adapt the vehicle’s properties perfectly to individual projects. ASM’s standardized interfaces allow models to be easily expanded to meet specific requirements or even create a virtual vehicle. “India is emerging as a global automobile giant and the automotive industry has made pioneering efforts in adopting modern technologies in recent years,” said Mr. Pradeep Kumar, Sr. Vice President Cranes Software International Ltd. “We are excited to be working with dSPACE GmbH to provide real-time simulation models to the Indian automotive industry With the availability of ASM, we will now be able to offer optimum value-added solutions to our customers in India.” Real-Time Simulation Models for Powertrain and Vehicle Dynamics include: -- Open MATLAB/Simulink models -- Real-time simulation and offline simulation -- Virtual vehicle simulations with engine, drivetrain, and vehicle dynamics -- Turn-key solution with dSPACE Simulator Cranes Software International Limited is the authorized distributor for dSPACE in India and will make available ASM to the Indian automotive market through their nation-wide product distribution network.
