Ansys 2024 R2: Ansys Autonomous Vehicle Simulation (AVxcelerate) What’s New

Join our Autonomous Vehicle Simulation (AVxcelerate) webinar to explore new features for the AVxcelerate Autonomy toolchain, such as radar model encryption for secure sharing, adaptive grid sampling for faster simulations, improved Lidar accuracy, expanded ODD capabilities, and UI enhancements.

Capabilities

Designed and developed to support the iterative process for cutting-edge sensor and headlamp systems, this solution includes dedicated applications for developing ADAS and autonomous systems. Simulation capabilities reduce the time and cost of physical testing.

Intelligent Lighting Systems

Develop dynamic and intelligent lighting systems thanks to a C/C++ API or Simulink® toolbox, such as cornering light, adaptive front lighting system, dynamic bending light, adaptive driving beam, matrix beam and pixel light.

Assess perception performances by varying vehicle dynamics, driving scenario conditions (such as lighting), or surrounding traffic situations. Perform NCAP rating tests in co-simulation within the driving simulator of your choice.

HiL Testing

Leverage hardware-in-the-loop testing to evaluate your electronic control unit’s (ECU) response to multiple driving conditions and its interactions with OEM and third-party systems.

Inject accurate raw signals simulated by virtual physics-based sensors for perception in the loop testing. Run reproducible virtual drive on test benches thanks to co-simulation with IPG Automotive CarMaker, Carla or any driving simulator of your choice.

Headlamp Simulation and Assessment

Simulate and test vehicle headlights during night driving conditions.

The real-time, physics-based solution allows you to simulate virtual prototypes of headlamps within physically realistic scenarios. Perform beam assessment and regulation checks with a wide set of analysis tools to detect, measure and compare any defects in beam patterns. Visualization in false colors facilitates the comparison between different behaviors and light sources — Halogen, Xenon or LED. Measurement grids ease the assessment of homogeneity of light distribution and the aiming wall allows you to check the conformity of the cut-off according to regional regulation.

Intelligent Lighting Systems

The solution offers a real-time pixel beam simulation and control mechanism capable of managing pixel-level beam behavior (such as DMD or microLED systems for example). Efficiently develop, iterate and test your intelligent lighting system control software, including using hardware-in-the-loop simulation, with camera sensor injection.
