Simulation vs.
Organizational Inertia
by Chris Clonts
The chief technical officer of simulation giant VI-grade
says that even as it offers a wide range of solutions, some
companies are slow to believe in the proven reductions in
development time and cost.
At VI-grade's Zero Prototypes Summit in Udine,
Italy, 270 of the company's partners, customers and
suppliers shared their successes using the company's
simulators in tire, ADAS and full-vehicle development.
Another 800 people attended online.
The company also unveiled its new Compact Full
Spectrum Simulator that allows engineers to test ride
motion and NVH in a single, small-footprint simulator.
SAE Media spoke at length with CTO Diego
Minen about what's next for simulation specialist
VI-grade and what slows adoption of the technology,
which is documented to speed automated-driving
system and EV development time and save money
over the mule-and-prototypes standard (see " The Road
to Zero Prototypes " in the March issue).
You have so many different types of simulators, from
simple desktop computer models all the way to multimillion-dollar
cable-driven machines that can simulate
combined loading events. Are you trying to ensure access
to your technology across multiple price points?
We understand that it is difficult for a company
approaching this for the first time to do the big investment,
especially for smaller companies. But we can
protect the investment by providing technology that
is modular, scalable and configurable.
VI-grade CTO
Diego Minen
was co-presenter
of " 10 Things We
Learned Modeling
Vehicle-Road
Interaction " at
the conference.
Here at the summit, we're hearing a lot about upgradability,
both in software and in simulator hardware.
Is that because some customers worry about falling
behind after locking in a major purchase like a simulator?
Yes. Our philosophy is that instead of saying you
have this small machine and you upgrade to the full
machine, you can add pieces from where you start.
The central point is the environment surrounding the
