To reduce physical prototype testing and save time, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can leverage ANSYS® VRXPERIENCE®, one of ANSYS' immersive solutions, to combine virtual reality capabilities with physics-based simulation. This allows engineers to test, validate, and experience AV systems and vehicle performance under everyday driving conditions, which can number in the thousands in a single day. VRXPERIENCE includes HMI testing, physical sensor simulation (including radar, LIDAR, cameras, and ultrasound), embedded software control integration, headlight simulation, and links to simulation data management and system safety analytics.
Integrated within VRXPERIENCE as its driving simulator module, AVSimulation's SCANeR™ Studio product is an open and scalable modular simulation solution that creates a realistic virtual world, allowing users to simulate thousands of driving scenarios with numerous variations in high-performance clusters or in the public cloud, such as Microsoft Azure. SCANeR™ incorporates roads generated from high-definition maps and asset libraries, traffic situations, weather conditions, vehicle dynamics, and more.
