This seminar focuses on simulation-based development within the automotive V-cycle, with particular attention to virtual test driving and continuous validation processes.
The session introduces the IPG Automotive toolchain, highlighting how virtual prototypes enable early integration of vehicle components and support agile development workflows. The role of simulation in reducing development time while improving quality and reliability will be discussed.
An overview of Model-, Software-, Hardware-, and Vehicle-in-the-Loop (MIL, SIL, HIL, VIL) methods will be provided, illustrating how these approaches are applied across the entire development process. Special focus will be given to Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL) as the current state of the art in virtual testing.
The seminar will also present real-world customer applications, demonstrating how simulation tools support validation activities and enhance the efficiency of modern vehicle development.
