Germany-based VI-grade, a provider of human-centric simulation-driven vehicle development solutions and part of testing and measurement company Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK)’s Virtual Test Division, has formed a partnership with electric drive simulation specialist MoBeLIV to help engineers validate EV powertrains.
The agreement appoints HBK and its affiliates, including VI-grade, as resellers of MoBeLIV software. By combining HBK’s test solutions with MoBeLIV’s simulation capabilities, engineers will be able to validate and fine-tune their results faster and more effectively, according to the companies.
“Customers want to understand and bridge the gap between simulation and measurement,” said Mitchell Marks, Director of Automotive Strategy and Business Development at HBK. “MoBeLIV’s expertise in test-informed modelling and real-time simulations enables us to offer advanced results in electric motor testing, complementing HBK’s portfolio with simulation tools that seamlessly incorporate test data.”
“This collaboration goes a step further by connecting MoBeLIV’s real-time electric motor models with VI-CarRealTime, our flagship solution for real-time vehicle modelling and simulation,” added Alessio Lombardi, Head of EMEA and NA Sales at VI-grade. “With this integration, OEMs and suppliers gain a powerful virtual testing environment, both offline and on the driving simulator, accelerating the development of electrified powertrains with higher fidelity and confidence.”
