HIL simulation
MTS Systems Corporation

A new simulation technique from MTS Systems combines computational inputs from a vehicle dynamics model with data from a physical tire under test. For this data, the Iterative mechanical Hardware in the Loop (ImHIL) technique uses data from MTS’s Flat-Trac CT Plus Force & Moment Measurement System. According to MTS, ImHIL has already proved to be a quick and effective means for evaluating the effects of tires on vehicle handling well in advance of vehicle prototypes and without the need to optimize tire models.

Another novelty for MTS is the addition of force and moment measurement capabilities to the Truck & Bus variant of the MTS Tire Tread Wear Simulation System. This system applies tightly controlled forces and motions to replicate complex tire wear patterns in controlled laboratory settings, allowing users to test around the clock with a broader range of testing scenarios than can be achieved through outdoor testing alone.
