Our credo

We create a virtual development environment that is as intuitive and reliable as the real system. We enable efficient, reproducible, and validated testing capabilities. Physical prototypes move toward the end of the product development process. Real-wolrd tests are minimized. What we contribute:

Development

Development of virtual components

Software in the Loop

Modular SIL setup in dynamics systems

Hardware in the Loop

Modular HIL setup in dynamics systems

Validation

Verification and validation up to KAT4 approval

Our key competencies in virtual development

We create simulation environments for development and testing applications. Efficient, reproducible, validated.

Physical systems and components are transformed into virtual, physics-based models and embedded in a network of component models within a simulation environment.
Depending on the application – digital twins are created with a high level of detail.

Connecting virtual vehicle components with restbus models and virtual ECUs (Levels 1–4). Scalable for cloud applications. Modularized for various tool combinations (dSPACE, Synopsys, IPG).

Connecting virtual vehicle components with real hardware within real-time capable test instances.
Modular system architecture allows easy addition of hardware and software components to the test setup.
Full remote operation of test instances is possible.

Verification & validation of connected systems and components. This ensures correct implementation (verification) and confirms the simulation quality for the intended test application (validation), using real or artificial data.

Virtual Development
in top quality

With our 15 years of experience in the automotive sector, we have acquired extensive methodological and operational expertise. We can quickly and reliably adapt to requirements in new domains, tools, and toolchains - whether in modeling, networking or validating these systems. We respond to our customers’ needs and support them in virtualizing their testing tasks seamlessly across all XIL systems and up to real-world testing.
