Redefining Dil Simulation

In nan evolving world of conveyance development, wherever nan displacement from beingness to integer has reached unprecedented levels, simulation is nary longer a support tool: it is nan backbone of nan engineering process.

This translator is driven by nan request to trim prototypes, trim costs, speed-up improvement timelines, and alteration much sustainable innovation. Yet, arsenic simulation becomes progressively central, nan manufacture continues to look a captious challenge: realism.

How do you alteration engineers, drivers, and decision-makers to consciousness a conveyance earlier it physically exists? How do you build spot successful virtual prototypes that must pass multi-million-dollar creation decisions? The reply lies successful driver-in-the-loop (DiL) simulation, and much specifically, successful achieving unmatched levels of fidelity and immersion wrong that simulation tool.

At nan 2025 Zero Prototypes Summit (ZPS2025), VI-grade unveiled a large measurement guardant successful DiL technology: nan HexaRev, a revolutionary six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) mobility level that redefines what is imaginable successful move simulation.

The emergence of immersive, simulation-led development

DiL simulation has evolved quickly complete nan past decade. Innovations successful mobility level creation person progressively accrued highest accelerations, minimised mechanical latency, and improved nan move value of simulation environments.

These advancements person played a cardinal domiciled successful making virtual trial driving much accurate, which helps engineers beryllium assured successful creation decisions made based connected nan consciousness and behaviour of integer vehicles.

However, moreover pinch these leaps forward, 1 mobility has persisted: tin DiL consciousness moreover much real? Can moreover greater immersion, little strategy latency, and little self-generated sound and vibration disturbances beryllium achieved? With HexaRev, nan reply is simply a resounding yes.

Introducing HexaRev: a caller era of mobility simulation

The HexaRev level is VI-grade’s astir precocious mobility strategy to date. It combines mechanical invention pinch simplicity of design, to present a driving acquisition that is smoother, quieter and much immersive than immoderate strategy antecedently available.

At its core, HexaRev is simply a high-performance, high-precision 6-DoF platform, tin of generating exceptionally meticulous conveyance motion. But what sets it isolated isn’t conscionable nan precision of nan motion: it’s really it delivers nan motion.

The HexaRev has a ample letter cover of simultaneous motion. Traditional 6-DoF systems, specified arsenic hexapods (Stewart platforms), suffer from a awesome limitation: erstwhile aggregate degrees of state are progressive simultaneously, their usable mobility scope decreases dramatically. This intends nan much analyzable and move nan manoeuvre, nan much restricted and little realistic nan mobility becomes.

The HexaRev uses a wholly different mechanical and kinematic architecture that preserves a larger mobility envelope, moreover during complex, multi-axis inputs. In fact, nan HexaRev achieves astir 50% amended ratio successful position of nan mobility envelope-to-footprint ratio than accepted hexapods.

This makes it particularly powerful for experiencing mixed conveyance dynamics, specified arsenic braking while steering aliases acceleration during area exit – scenarios wherever accepted systems tin autumn short.

The HexaRev’s brilliance lies successful nan mechanical simplicity of its Direct Drive Architecture. Unlike astir mobility platforms, it uses nary gears, nary belts, and nary shot screw joints. This eliminates communal sources of mechanical play, noise, and latency. The result? A mobility level that feels contiguous and is virtually free from parasitic vibrations.

The HexaRev 6-DoF mobility level is simply a milestone improvement successful VI-grade’s 20 years of activity successful simulation

HexaRev + Hyperdock for full-spectrum simulation

The HexaRev reaches its afloat imaginable erstwhile integrated pinch VI-grade’s Hyperdock cockpit system. Together, they shape a full-spectrum real-time DiL simulator tin of creating meticulous conveyance motion, vibration and sound, from 0 – 20kHz.

In position of motion, it offers existent 6-DoF mobility pinch superior accuracy and amplitude. For vibration, it delivers 7-DoF vibration to each driver touchpoints, replicating roadworthy texture, motor pulses, aliases suspension harmonics.
It besides gives immersive audio feedback for complete biology realism.

Add to this VI-grade’s VI-ZeroLatency technology, and nan consequence is simply a simulation situation wherever quality drivers tin acquisition ultra-realistic, real-time feedback. For improvement teams focused connected comfort, handling, aliases subjective evaluation, this is simply a game-changer.

A technological milestone successful automotive simulation

HexaRev FSS is nan newest personnel of nan VI-grade Full Spectrum Simulator family, joining nan Compact FSS and DiM FSS, launched successful 2023 and 2024, respectively.

HexaRev FSS excels astatine providing accurate, realistic simulations for evaluating thrust comfort, NVH, ADAS and autonomous power systems, and HMI systems.

The motorboat of HexaRev astatine ZPS2025 marked much than conscionable a merchandise unveiling: it is simply a technological milestone successful nan simulation world. The HexaRev mobility platform, together pinch nan FSS exertion and VI-ZeroLatency technology, provides nan highest move quality  and astir realistic acquisition imaginable successful a driving simulator.

As conveyance improvement moves further distant from beingness testing, devices for illustration HexaRev guarantee that thing is mislaid successful translation. They empower engineers and decision-makers to research creation spaces faster, make assured decisions earlier and, ultimately, create amended vehicles, pinch virtually zero prototypes.

A caller modular for realism

With nan HexaRev, VI-grade has reimagined nan mobility level from nan crushed up, delivering industry-first innovations successful mobility envelope, latency, noise, and mechanical simplicity.

Combined pinch nan Hyperdock, VI-ZeroLatency, and nan broader VI-grade ecosystem, HexaRev offers a full-spectrum, high-fidelity simulation acquisition that redefines what is imaginable successful DiL environments.

Whether you’re processing nan adjacent procreation of electrical vehicles, refining ADAS algorithms, aliases perfecting thrust comfort, HexaRev offers a caller modular successful immersion and realism, enabling amended decisions successful little time, and without beingness prototypes.
