MICHELIN SIMIX frequently asked questions

Each dataset includes validated parameters, limits, model formats, and usage documentation. Built for direct integration.

Yes, you can request a free sample dataset to evaluate integration in your simulation loop. As a sample, the product characteristics (size, pressure...) may not be fully relevant for your application but it should allow you to test the integration process and get an overview of basic functionalities and parameters included.

MICHELIN SIMIX datasets crafting team, specialists in realistic, simulation-ready datasets built from 100+ years of tire and chassis Michelin’s expertise. We turn complex measurements into usable, trusted simulation datasets.
Learn more about our expertise

MICHELIN SIMIX datasets are created and validated by Michelin experts, combining physical and virtual measurements. Michelin is one of the only manufacturers offering an online tire data library accessible to engineering teams.

Tire maintenance WITHOUT significant performance change
If the object represented by the dataset undergoes minor modifications without a significant impact on performance, there is no reason to update the dataset. In general, this means that the physical product reference number remains unchanged.

Tire maintenance WITH significant performance change
If the object represented by the dataset undergoes minor modifications that lead to a significant impact on performance, (typically resulting in an update of the product reference number), we can provide you with the latest updated version of the dataset :

• For rental datasets: We will provide the updated dataset if you choose to extend the rental after the expiration of the initial period.
• For perpetual licenses: If you have purchased a lifetime license, we can offer an upgrade to the updated dataset at a preferential price.

Evolution of modeling methods
Our methods for dataset creation are state-of the-art so there are futur proof.Nevertheless, we continuously invest in research and development. If our new methods result in enhanced dataset capabilities that could benefit you, we can offer an upgrade at a very attractive price.

What we sell is not the intellectual property of the datasets, but the rights to use of the datasets. In case you need a transfer of intellectual property and right to use, please book a call with us

Our teams of engineers are constantly working on the creation and updating of datasets in order to provide you all the Michelin know-how.
This lead time enables us to control our products and certify an optimal quality level that matches our expertise.

After purchasing online on our platform, you will be notified by email when your dataset is ready for download.
You can then go to your SIMIX account to download the installation package and the documentation we provide to enable you to play the dataset in your simulation software.

If you did not find what you are looking for, the “Custom request” allows you to reach out our team of engineers for personalized the parameter of the dataset matching your exact need.
You can do a request directly in the filter banner by clicking on the button “Custom request” dedicated to that. Then, you can fill in the form to provide all the details needed for our team of Michelin experts in order to analyze your request.

In general our right to use license is defined for a whole company on a defined geographic zone. This means that the dataset may be used by as many users as you want within your company. In case you have needs in different zones or if you are working with partner companies (for instance subcontracting party) we may provide a sub-licensing right to use for a nominal fee.

Indeed, it's possible. We recommend that you contact the sales team to make the change.

It includes a time-limited right of use for the defined scope. This means that you can use it for a predefined period of time.
On MICHELIN SIMIX, we offer three possible rental duration (which vary depending on the type of dataset) : 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year.

This license grants you indefinite rights of use (lifetime duration) within a certain scope (zone/world, client/subcontractors, vehicle project, etc...). This means that you can use your dataset indefinitely.

The right of use starts when the file is first downloaded.
The right of use expires after n months: this means that you can no longer use it after the right of use has expired.

For rental, when your license (the duration of your right to use) expires, you have the option to extend it beyond the initial duration by adding 150% of the price difference between the initial duration and the amended duration.

Intellectual property remains the sole property of MICHELIN SIMIX: the datasets for which you have right to use can not be transferred, sold, sub-licensed, etc... But the results of calculations/simulations are your sole property, even after the right to use expiration.

In practice, this means that you can no longer run simulations, but you can still use the output files and the results from your simulation.

Our experts team assist before and after purchase: from scoping to deployment.

Basic expert support is included in the warranty by default for the package, when you purchase your dataset: this is basic level 1 support with no extra cost.

ADVANCED MENTORING
If this is related to improving your teams' skills in analyzing/understanding results, this service will be billed according to the scope of your needs and on a case-by-case basis.

All our datasets are tested before being sent, and the probability of a bug or error is virtually nonexistent — or extremely low. Nevertheless, rest assured that our datasets are covered by a 2-year warranty (whether you have a rental dataset from 3 months to 1 year, or a lifetime license) should any error or inconsistency be detected.
In the unlikely event this happens, we will provide all necessary support to resolve the issue.

Yes. Many datasets are transferable and scalable depending on your license.

Yes. They are designed to support multiple use cases: ADAS, NVH, CAE, dynamics, and spec definition.

By helping you validate key decisions earlier, MICHELIN SIMIX reduces simulation delays, improves cross-functional alignment, and accelerates design freeze so you move faster with fewer iterations and fewer surprises.

Early simulation helps avoid costly redesigns by evaluating concepts, validating assumptions, and reducing uncertainty before design freeze.

MICHELIN SIMIX datasets combine physical measurement + simulation, preformatted for your tools.
Faster than lab data, more reliable than a quick-and-dirty model.

Yes. Our datasets are structured for simulation-based optimization of NVH, handling, tires, ADAS and other key performance criteria. Ideal for design freeze simulation data needs.

Homemade datasets can take weeks and often remain biased. Ready-to-use datasets from MICHELIN SIMIX save time, are real-world correlated, and integrate directly into your tools.

With ready-to-use tire models, engineering teams skip expensive test campaigns and avoid repeating failed tests. Our clients cut timelines by eliminating track dependency and validating their AI using simulation first.

Minutes, not days. Files are clean, formatted, and tool-ready. Support is included by default in our offer at no additional cost.

Yes. MICHELIN SIMIX datasets are plug & play and delivered in standard formats compatible with common simulation environments (Matlab/Simulink, CarMaker, Amesim, Adams etc). This allow you to integrate MICHELIN SIMIX dataset directly into your in-house end-to-end simulation platform.

By default, our right to use is provided by zone (Europe, Asia, Americas, etc). Worldwide right to use are also possible. If you require a worldwide access. please book a call with our sales team
