Stop crafting tire data. Start engineering your car chassis.
Car development teams run simulation at every stage: handling, durability, NVH, from pre-project sizing to line production. Each team needs reliable data, fast. MICHELIN SIMIX gives you battle-tested tire and chassis datasets that plug into your tools from day one. We handle the tire complexity. You focus on building high-performing chassis.
Still spending weeks sourcing and building tire data?
Simulation is at the heart of car development. But reliable tire and chassis data rarely arrives when your teams need it.
Data bottlenecks that delay the whole program
Handling, NVH, pre-project sizing: every team needs tire data, often at the same time. When that data isn't ready or isn't trusted, simulation loops stall and program timelines slip.
Homemade models that introduce silent errors
Building tire datasets in-house requires infrastructure and expertise most teams don't have. The result: approximations that quietly propagate errors into every simulation built on top of them.
Your tools are ready. Your data isn't
The toolchain is in place. The bottleneck is the data. Every week spent sourcing or building tire models is a week your chassis engineers aren't simulating.
Get the data. Start simulating.
MICHELIN SIMIX gives car development teams instant access to validated tire and chassis datasets: built from physical measurements, virtual simulation, and real-world correlation. Plug in. Trust the data. Simulate from day one.
You simulate immediately, thanks to ready-to-use datasets:
No sourcing, no building, no post-processing. Download, plug in, run. Out of the box.
You align every team on the same data, thanks to a single source of truth:
Handling, NVH, pre-project sizing: all teams work from the same validated reference. No misalignment, no rework, no program delays caused by inconsistent data sources.
You cover every phase of your program, thanks to adjustable detail levels:
From early concept sizing to handling refinement and NVH validation. The right level of detail at every stage.
You stay agile on budget and timeline, thanks to a flexible offer:
Rent for 3, 6, or 12 months. Buy a lifetime license. The acquisition model adapts to your project cycle, not the other way around.

Built for the people who make the decisions
Simulation and chassis engineers
Stop hunting for tire data or building it from scratch. Get datasets that integrate immediately: documented, validated, accurate at component level. Your vehicle model starts on solid ground, not approximations.
R&D and project directors
Every week of data sourcing is a week of simulation lost. MICHELIN SIMIX removes that bottleneck so your teams run faster, development loops tighten, and time-to-market shrinks.

Questions car development teams ask before they start
What types of simulation datasets are available for passenger cars?
Tire datasets covering handling models (Pacejka MF-Tyre 5.2 or 6.2), NVH models (MF-SWIFT, FTire, CD-Tire), static stiffness characteristics, and 3D geometry files. Complete-vehicle datasets including full chassis models compatible with VI-CRT and CarSim, and suspension K&C maps. All compatible with CarMaker, Adams, VI-Grade, Simpack, etc...
Do I need to run physical tests before using MICHELIN SIMIX datasets?
No. MICHELIN SIMIX datasets are built from a hybrid approach combining physical measurements and virtual simulation, corrected for real-world conditions. They are documented, plug-and-play, and ready to integrate into your tools from day one, without the hassle of sourcing a tire, running measurements and processing huge amount of data.
What is the right purchasing model for car development?
For project development phases where data needs to be locked across teams: handling, NVH, pre-project sizing; a lifetime license is typically recommended. For earlier exploration phases or multi-tire comparisons, rental (3 to 12 months) gives you the flexibility to test multiple references without a long-term commitment.
What makes MICHELIN SIMIX different from building our own tire model or using generic datasets?
Generic datasets are built on averaged measurements that don't reflect real operating conditions. Building in-house requires time, infrastructure and expertise most development teams don't have and introduces recalibration cycles that slow the program. MICHELIN SIMIX datasets are created and validated by Michelin experts, combining physical and virtual measurements, real-world correlated from the start.
