Michelin SIMIX Engineering presents the first operational version of its chassis simulation dataset platform at Eurosatory:

The platform aims to make life easier for chassis development and simulation engineers.
Today's chassis development is becoming massively digital, and simulation is a great lever for reducing costs and accelerating time to market. Simulation software and dynamic simulators have reached a level of performance that makes it possible to get rid of expensive prototypes for a large part of vehicle development.
On the other hand, simulation engineers struggle to find relevant datasets to feed the simulation chain with components that are an accurate description of reality (digital twins). Tires being a composite and flexible component, are particularly complex to represent in the digital domain.
Thanks to its tools and experience in digital design, Michelin has developed the ability to produce qualitative datasets by combining real measurements and numerical simulation. This makes it possible to provide unprecedented data sets, for example large defense mobility and giant off-highway tires that cannot be measured on standard equipment.
The platform will be showcased at Eurosatory and presented to visitors for testing, displaying a list of hundreds of datasets and a user-friendly interface. Datasets will be available for many types of ground vehicles, from automobiles to high mobility defense and commercial vehicles. The platform will initially focus on tires, but will soon bring together other types of components such as suspension parts or even complete chassis datasets.
The team will be happy to welcome visitors on the Michelin booth at Eurosatory Hall 6 K31.
