YOUR DEVELOPMENT MOVES FAST. YOUR SIMULATION DATA SHOULD TOO.
In development, every team needs the same data. And it needs to be right. MICHELIN SIMIX gives your Handling, ADAS and NVH teams a shared simulation baseline, so you can lock design choices and move forward. Without waiting on physical measurements. Works for tires, chassis, suspensions and more.

Why project development is where simulation really pays off
In development, the stakes change. You are no longer exploring, you are committing. A missing dataset, a misaligned model, or a late physical test loop can cost weeks and derail your program. With MICHELIN SIMIX, you can:
- Accurately characterize your reference product and lock design choices with confidence
- Give Handling, ADAS and NVH teams a single, reliable shared dataset; no more working from different sources
- Replace slow, costly physical test loops with virtual runs your whole team can act on
This phase covers three distinct simulation moments. Each has specific stakes. MICHELIN SIMIX is built for all three.
Three moments
Development moves fast. Here is how MICHELIN SIMIX fits each stage, from supplier selection to the last step before series production.
Moment 1: Supplier Selection
- Goal: Select the right supplier with simulation data you can defend
- You might say: "We need a reliable reference dataset before we can award this contract."
- Solution: Use accurate characterization datasets to support supplier selection and engineering decisions more objective
Moment 2 : Development
- Goal: Lock design choices and align all teams on a shared, reliable simulation baseline
- You might say: “Handling, ADAS, NVH: they all need the same data, and it needs to be right."
- Solution: Access reliable chassis and components datasets
Moment 3 : Industrialization
- Goal: Finalize your simulation model before going to series production
- You might say: "We need our dataset fully correlated and ready before series launch."
- Solution: Secure your simulation foundation with production-ready datasets, available as a lifetime purchase

Vehicle project development simulation explained
What is simulation in the vehicle project development phase?
It is the use of validated, simulation-ready datasets to support design and engineering decisions from supplier selection through to series production, replacing slow and costly physical test loops with virtual runs your teams can act on immediately.
Why does simulation matter during vehicle development iterations?
In development, every team - Handling, ADAS, NVH - needs to work from the same reference data. Without a shared, reliable dataset, you get misalignment, rework and program delays. MICHELIN SIMIX gives all teams a common simulation baseline, built from the same source.
What types of data are available for chassis development?
Tires, chassis, suspensions and related components, covering Handling models (Pacejka MF5.2/6.2), NVH models (Ftire, CD-Tire) and full vehicle models. All datasets are compatible with CarMaker, Adams, VI-CRT and Simpack.
What is the right purchasing model for this phase?
For the project development phase, a lifetime purchase is typically recommended. You need the data locked and available throughout the full development and industrialization cycle.
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.

Your team has better things to do than build models from scratch.
We handle the data. You build the chassis.
