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 the fastest automatically-generated 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 VICarRealTime 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.
