MAKE SMARTER SIMULATION DECISIONS
IN THE PRE-PROJECT PHASE

From early concept comparisons to spec-level validation, SIMIX helps you simulate faster and decide with confidence. One platform. Multiple use cases. No friction.

works for tires, chassis, suspensions and more

Why the pre-project phase is make or break

In pre-development, every decision sets the tone for what comes next.
But simulation is often late, messy or overlooked. With SIMIX, you can :

check icon Compare multiple design options without building your own models check icon Secure specs with validated, simulation-ready datasets check icon Move faster, with less guesswork and more credibility
check icon This phase includes two distinct simulation moments.
Each needs a different approach. SIMIX is built for both.

USE CASES PREVIEW- Two moments, two ways to win

bib kicking

Moment 1 : Concept Exploration

  • Goal: Compare multiple architectures early without wasting time or budget
  • You might say: "We want to evaluate several concepts, but don’t have models yet."
Solution: Explore pre-design simulation dataset

Moment 2 : Specification Validation

  • Goal: Support your design freeze with simulation data you can defend
  • You might say: "We need credible data to secure our spec before development."
Solution: Use specification-grade datasets to validate your choices

Pre-project simulation explained

What is vehicle pre-project simulation?
It's the use of simulation to guide early design decisions, before detailed CAD or physical testing is available.
Why simulate before development starts?
Early simulation helps avoid costly redesigns by evaluating concepts, validating assumptions, and reducing uncertainty before design freeze.
What types of components can be simulated early?
Tires, chassis, suspensions, and other key systems. SIMIX datasets are designed to support multi-domain exploration and specification.
Do I need to be a simulation expert to use this?
No. SIMIX datasets are documented, plug-and-play, and usable by generalist engineers or external partners.
How does this connect to my development process?
What you simulate in pre-project can feed directly into spec validation, supplier briefs, or early prototyping. It's not wasted effort, it's leveraged insight.
