CarSim simulates the dynamic behavior of racecars, passenger cars, light trucks, and utility vehicles. CarSim animates simulated tests and generates about 600 output variables to plot and analyze, or export to other software such as MATLAB, Excel, or optimization tools. Engineers use CarSim to design, develop, test and plan vehicle programs. They make better decisions involving vehicle dynamics quicker with CarSim. Use CarSim to prove initial concepts, select components, and perform advanced analysis of existing vehicles. CarSim is fast, accurate, and easy to use.
