The primary focus of this investment by Alpine’s road car division is to accelerate the development of vehicle dynamics for their forthcoming models while preserving the distinctive features of their brand.
Alpine has selected VI-grade’s STATIC Simulator, a professional solution delivering an immersive and realistic driving experience, to develop comprehensive multi-body vehicle models with potential expansion to cover NVH and HMI aspects in the future. The STATIC Simulator’s capability to be upgraded to a DYNAMIC Simulator at a later stage and its multi-disciplinary functionalities played a key role in Alpine Cars’ decision-making process.
Simultaneously, Alpine Cars has also invested in VI-grade’s latest innovation, the COMPACT FSS Simulator, which provides highly accurate motion, vibration, and sound in a small footprint. This simulator will be instrumental in creating virtual prototypes of Alpine’s new Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). Leveraging the digital twin of the Alpine Eternity concept car, the COMPACT FSS Simulator facilitates a comprehensive assessment of next-generation Alpine BEVs in motion, vibration, and sound. This approach significantly reduces reliance on physical prototypes, contributing to efficiency in evaluating vehicle parameters, NVH development, and overall performance, aligning with Alpine’s ambitious plans for their sporty BEV platform. The COMPACT FSS Simulator to be integrated by Alpine also includes both the full VI-NVHSim and the VI-DriveSim software suite.
