VI-grade Launches Major Update of Real-Time Software Suites
Darmstadt, Germany, October 30th, 2024 – VI-grade, the global provider of human-centric simulation-driven vehicle development solutions, today announced the release of the 2025.1 versions of its flagship products: VI-CarRealTime, VI-WorldSim, VI-NVHSim and VI-DriveSim. These updates deliver enhanced performance, new functionalities, and broader compatibility, further strengthening VI-grade’s commitment to supporting its customers in creating better virtual prototypes and accelerating vehicle development cycles.
VI-CarRealTime 2025.1 introduces significant efficiency improvements, including support for save/restore functionality in plug-ins generated from Simulink and FMU subsystems, and enhanced capabilities for running multiple events in parallel. This version also offers improved computational efficiency for MaxPerformance simulations, leading to a reduction in static calculation time by up to 50%. Users will benefit from new support for user-defined inputs and enhanced scalability features.
VI-WorldSim 2025.1 offers expanded functionalities for immersive simulation environments. Notable features include a new section of the VI-WorldSim ModKit dedicated to creating custom object libraries, regional road signs for the US, Japan, and Italy, improved camera tracking capabilities, and enhanced support for obstacle files and animated steering wheels in VR environments. The new version also offers greater flexibility for object file management and expanded API support for controlling vehicle headlights.
VI-NVHSim 2025.1 continues to push the boundaries of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) simulation. The new release improves usability for projects with complex assemblies, introduces support for VR scenarios, and adds an all-new task manager for recording and managing NVH data. Additional enhancements include a more comprehensive Time History Monitor Display and expanded analog input channels for vibration recordings, ensuring more accurate NVH analysis.
VI-DriveSim 2025.1 introduces several new features to enhance the driving simulation experience, including advanced replay management tools, improved fidelity of Full Spectrum simulators and full compatibility with Simulation Workbench for Windows. This latest release also includes VI-ZeroLatency, an AI-based latency compensation algorithm developed in collaboration with Addfor SpA, powered by Sybille® technology, to minimize latency on motion platforms for a smoother, more responsive simulation experience.
“We are proud to introduce the 2025.1 versions of our flagship simulation solutions, designed to deliver even more robust and precise simulation environments,” commented Roberto De Vecchi, Product Development Manager. “These innovations empower our customers to optimize virtual testing workflows, reduce reliance on physical prototypes, and drive efficiency in vehicle development”
The 2025.1 software release, including a detailed list of new features and enhancements, is now available for download. Registered users can access and download version 2025.1 by logging into the reserved area of the VI-grade website.
