Advanced Simulator for Combat, Transport Vehicles, Submarines, Vessels, Airplanes and Helicopters

Abstract

Virtual product development with the aid of simulation software is particularly advanced in the vehicle industry. The purely visual representation of simulation results within a graphic environment often makes it difficult to sufficiently record all necessary evaluation criteria. Such limitations are largely reduced with the aid of a simulator which enables the evaluation of vehicle dynamics as well as vibration comfort. The application fields of such a simulator range from a projection of vibrations to an interactive simulation of vehicle dynamics. The motion system plays an important role in simulator experiments. It represents a compromise between technical requirements (or wishes), current technical feasibility and financial possibilities. The technical requirements on the motion system of a universal simulator for road and rail vehicles, as well as aircraft, cover a wide spectrum of potential applications. With the aid of the simulation, measurement results from experiments as well as experience, the limiting parameters of this simulator are assessable for certain maneuvers.
