Vehicle dynamics software SCANeR studio Automotive

SCANeR^TM studio Automotive is dedicated to automotive or light truck simulations, with or without a trailer.

Thought by automotive professionals for automotive professionals, SCANeR^TM studio Automotive is an accurate, versatile and user-friendly software package designed to ideally suit the specific needs of vehicle dynamics simulation professionals. The software encompasses the various types of components, thanks to its modularity.

Since 1990, OKTAL, have developed SCANeR^TM studio Automotive with a specific philosophy:

• Reach a high degree of accuracy by a constant comparison with acquisition data in many application fields (powerful “Validation” methodology),
• Precise use of available data: SCANeR^TM studio Automotive can build a complex model from a simple dataset,
• Help understand the model to improve design and tuning :
  • User-friendly interface in a familiar environment (MS Office, data collection),
  • Gradual levels of complexity of the car model and computation to suit the specific problem,
• Handle every kind of maneuver: acceleration, braking, cornering, rough road and any combination, at every solicitation physically possible (slide, spin, jump, rollover…) to be able to compromise various factors.
• Directly compute optimal performance:
  • Rate the vehicle and its components
  • In its real usage conditions: Handling/damper/bumps interaction, The driver in the loop is a major factor for the car specification.

Applications

• Vehicle conception (from pilot studies to final setup on track),
• Homologation tests,
• Accident reconstruction,
• Road / vehicle compliance test,
• Advanced chassis control,
• Compare simulation to measurement,
• Co-simulation,
• Real time driving simulator
