——LMS Virtual.Lab Motion开发新功能来模拟车辆和驾驶员的相互作用
比利时鲁文(2006年12月1日讯)LMS国际公司与IPG Automotive公司宣布签署合作协议，在LMS Virtual.Lab Motion多体动力学软件集成IPG-DRIVER和IPG虚拟驾驶员模型，用于仿真车辆的平顺性和操纵性。通过双方合作，LMS Virtual.Lab Motion扩展了其在仿真分析车辆和驾驶者的相互作用方面的功能。真实的驾驶者模型进一步提高了车辆操稳性和舒适性仿真的精确度和可靠性。集成的解决方案可以用于开发乘用车、商用卡车、赛车和摩托车。
LMS Virtual.Lab Motion提供有多种方式对前后悬架系统进行建模仿真，并能结合转向系统、制动系统、动力和传动系统、电子控制系统和轮胎模型组装成整车模型。为了对车辆动力操控过程有精确深入的认识，LMS Virtual.Lab Motion仿真真实的驾驶环境来“虚拟驾驶”这些车辆模型。由IPG创建的虚拟驾驶员模型极大地增强了LMS Virtual.Lab Motion在这一领域的仿真能力，其虚拟驾驶员模型能够精确地模拟各种标准或极端情况下的试验操纵，例如平稳地转弯，转弯处制动，前后轮独立制动或ISO车道变换。虚拟驾驶员模型可以进行所有可能的驾驶操作，例如转向、制动、加速或换档。同时还能进行复杂的闭环控制过程的操稳性仿真，这对于开发像ESP和ABS这样的控制系统来说非常重要。
“IPG-DRIVER与LMS Virtual.Lab Motion的集成提供了独特的解决方案，可以仿真真实的驾驶过程，从而大大提高了LMS Virtual.Lab Motion在车辆动力学仿真方面的能力。这满足了车辆开发早期阶段对车辆的操稳性和平顺性进行仿真优化的需求。”IPG公司经理，Andreas Riedel博士说。
“IPG公司在车辆动力学领域是先进的技术领先者和应用专家。 我们与IPG合作将极大地提高LMS Virtual.Lab Motion在车辆平顺性和操控性方面的仿真能力。”LMS CAE部经理兼总裁Willy Bakkers先生说，“集成的解决方案能够在各种不同的和极端的驾驶环境下评估车辆性能集成的解决方案能够在各种不同的和极端的驾驶环境下评估车辆性能，得到最吻合实际情况的仿真结果。这将进一步加强了虚拟仿真的可靠性，能够确定关键的工程设计并加速关键设计的进程。”
