GT-DRIVE+ Framework
Standardized model generation and integrated data management for conventional, hybrid, and electric vehicles
Model vehicle performance, fuel economy, and emissions using static, kinematic, and dynamic analysis, for any vehicle type or drive cycle.
Solution Overview
Multi-Fidelity Vehicle Simulation
GT-SUITE supports multiple vehicle simulation modes for every stage of the development cycle. Static analysis delivers fast conceptual results, backward kinematic analysis refines early performance targets, and forward dynamic analysis captures full system behavior for detailed evaluation. Building vehicle models is fast thanks to automated model builders and pre-filled component libraries. Teams can run pre-defined or custom maneuvers, including regulatory driving cycles, wide-open throttle (WOT) tests, hill starts, and tip-ins, without building each scenario from scratch.
