The MapleSim Connector for VI-CarRealTime™ allows you to incorporate high-fidelity, multidomain models created in MapleSim in the real-time vehicle simulation environment of VI-CarRealTime.

• Take advantage of the intuitive physical modeling environment of MapleSim to create high-fidelity models of vehicle subsystems in a fraction of the time compared to other tools.
• Incorporate your vehicle subsystem into the full vehicle model of VI-CarRealTime, so you can validate, optimize, and control your subsystem without having to build the entire vehicle model.
• Run real-time simulations of your subsystem using extremely fast code produced by MapleSim.

Key Features

• Exports any MapleSim model to VI-CarRealTime, including systems with discrete events. Some examples include:
• High-fidelity powertrain systems such as detailed engine models, torque converter models, and detailed gear train models with shift controllers
• Power-assisted steering mechanisms
• Hybrid-electric vehicle powertrain
• Creates ANSI C solver plugins from MapleSim models for inclusion in the VI-CarRealTime simulation environment.
• Uses the new subsystem in place of the default subsystem in the VI-CarRealTime vehicle model, so the new subsystem can be tested in the context of the full vehicle simulation model.
• Produces highly efficient solver plugins for fast execution within the VI-CarRealTime environment.
• Efficiently handles even complicated systems, such as systems that include algebraic loops or have index-2 or higher DAEs.
• Supports models that include MapleSim custom components, automatically incorporating any user-defined procedures.
• Generates multi-input/multi-output solver plugins with automatic mapping of the MapleSim system’s inputs and outputs to the VI-CarRealTime vehicle system.
• Provides an easy-to-use MapleSim template with an intuitive step-by-step interface for setting parameters and options, browsing generated code, and exporting models to VI-CarRealTime.
• Automatically compiles all necessary files into a single .dll for easy incorporation of the model code into VI-CarRealTime.
• Includes a set of Maple™ language commands that provide programmatic access to all functionality as an alternative to the interactive interface and for custom application development.
