DiM, the family of turn-key, yet open driver-in-the-loop simulators from VI-grade, provides automotive engineers with a complete set of innovative, integrated driving simulators for a new generation approach to system-level simulation, allowing companies to bridge the gap between testing and simulation.
The dynamic configuration provides motion feedback to the driver thanks to an innovative nine-degrees-of-freedom moving platform with reduced dimensions and larger displacements.
DiM150 is already successfully installed at leading automotive OEMs, motorsport teams and engineering service providers. It is an award-winning Driving Simulator for integrated active & passive vehicle dynamics and ride development, as well as for ADAS and NVH applications. Thanks to its architecture, the DiM® captures low and high frequency performance for combined dynamics.
DiM250 features the same architecture and performance as the DiM150, however, with extended linear actuators for increased travel of the tripod. This motion platform is suitable for applications which require longer time exposure to steady state accelerations. The longer time exposure corresponds to larger platform movement to cover the driver reaction time. Like the DiM150, the DiM250 comes with a fixed screen, thus ensuring the best possible visual immersion quality.
The new, advanced DiM300 simulator represents the latest evolution of VI-grade’s large-scale simulators, building on the success of the award-winning DiM150 and DiM250 models.
The DiM300 introduces a host of cutting-edge features, including an extended operating range and higher tripod velocity. The simulator demonstrates an impressive ability to perform large planar displacements with virtually no motion cueing, providing engineers with an unprecedented level of realism and versatility.
Already successfully adopted by Honda Japan in 2023, with a second unit scheduled for operational deployment in 2024 at Japanese Engineering Service Provider Progress Technologies Group, DiM300, with its enhanced features and larger movement area, will once again improve the way engineers approach vehicle development.
