What's New
Ansys 2024 R2 innovations introduce capabilities like radar digital twin IP protection, adaptive grid sampling, and numerous updates to ODD to accommodate larger, more complicated simulations and ease-of-use UI improvements.
Radar Sensor Digital Twin Encryption
Users can now build an IP-protected sensor model using the AVxcelerate Sensors Lab UI. The password-protected model locks all parts of the radar sensor, including design, waveform, and beam pattern information, allowing Tier 1 and 2 suppliers to confidently share their models with OEMs for accurate system simulations.
Radar Sensor Adaptive Grid Sampling
AVxcelerate sensors simulation includes adaptive grid sampling. This method is used for long-range (200-500m) object detection that needs high ray density and sampling. Users can now define the objects in the simulation where dedicated rays would be focused, resulting in a 3x faster simulation with 6.8x less GPU memory consumption and the same or better level of accuracy.
Enhanced Scenario Exploration
Ansys 2024 R2 brings increased performance, scalability, and cloud processing (Azure & AWS) for AVxcelerate Autonomy users to simulate larger, more complicated scenarios (>500k samples per job), along with multiple ease-of-use UI improvements.
Continental Tests Real-Life Scenarios During ADAS/AD Testing and Validation
Our camera sensor technology is critical to the work we are doing in supporting autonomous function for our customers. Using Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors during ADAS/ADtesting and validation, we were able to confidently test real-life scenarios thatwere previously off-limitsto us with simulation, withcomplete confidence in theaccuracy of our results. Even though the work to develop a well-roundedsolution is still ongoing, the collaboration between. Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors and Continental camera sensor solutions is already delivering promising results.”

Enrich your sensor perception test cases and coverage with accurate real-time synthetic data. Set up multi-sensors simulation in SiL or HiL context to guarantee your ADAS/AV system performance under any operating condition.
To achieve a high level of accuracy, advanced driver assistance systems/ autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) technology requires Continental to target its camera sensors for simulation. Continental engineers do real-world driving on test tracks or roads to train, test, and validate ADAS or AD systems. They also do component-level testing and simulation; however, only limited engineering simulation solutions are available to tackle this problem. Even though the effort to develop a well-rounded solution is ongoing, the collaboration between Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors and Continental camera sensor solutions delivers promising results.
