VI-grade

Rapidly accelerate innovation in your product development

CAE Value connects your design engineers to new simulation methodologies with VI-grade real-time software solutions and driving simulators. Permanently shift from physical testing to simulation that sets you up for future-thinking design requirements.

“It's about making the car better, not just saving time. I believe we have created the best car so far in Volvo's history.”

Mattias Davidsson, Lead Vehicle Dynamics Engineer, Volvo

Real-time simulations & HiL

Virtual vehicle development and ADAS testing

Faster design processes. Less cost. Lower risk. It's no longer a question of why — next generation vehicle development requires rapid design changes and decisions that can only be achieved with the evolution from physical testing to simulation.

Driving simulators

From desktop to dynamic drivers

Tap into CAE Value expertise and position your design engineers as thought leaders, ready to respond to future development requirements with VI-grade's full range of driving simulators. Volvo reduced development time of the new XC60 by 50% and developed the S90 chassis using VI-grade's driving simulator.
