integrator of professional open architecture driving simulators for the automotive motorsport and marine industries . we supply flexible durable high performing real time simulators and their modular components hardware software vehicle models content and screens and projectors . our driver in the loop dil simulators and panthera software suite are designed to slot into customers existing tool chains so their engineers can be up and running quickly with a future proof system that does not tie them to any one supplier . having recognized the potential of engineering simulators to save time and money through dil testing since the 1990s we have installed over 100 driving simulators globally and gained a firm reputation as a trustworthy simulator expert . simulator building blocks 123 a646 d3c basic driving simulator for automotive and r & d applications m646 p3 driving or racing simulator with on board projection and screen a646 f3 high immersion vehicle simulator with off board projection and screen recessed top platform with passenger car seat steering wheel and pedals . 3 x 42 displays . canopy . top frame with interface for mounting of mock ups tubs and vehicles . on board projection and carbon fibre screen with a viewing angle of 180 . top frame for mounting of mock ups tube and vehicles . off board projection three projectors and 8 m diameter 210 viewing angle screen . all our simulators use our direct drive force feedback steering system a purposely designed multi turn actuator for high speed steering wheel applications . these are purposely designed single or multi turn actuators for high fidelity steering wheel applications featuring double loop control which optimally recreates the torque demanded by the vehicle model . at a bandwidth exceeding 50 hz the maximum peak torque is 30 nm the nominal maximum torque is 20 nm and the maximum velocity is 4500 deg s. when motion is required most customers use our standard industrial 6 dof motion bases with either 400 or 640 mm actuator stroke as used in professional automotive motorsport and military simulator applications around the world . we offer a range of simulator platforms and seating and interface frames to allow the incorporation of mock ups cockpits race tubs or partial complete vehicles . an interchangeable driver cell idc option allows for a 20 minute changeover of different mock ups . see page 4 of our automotive brochure and motorsport brochure for more details . we have many years experience integrating original vehicle components such as shifting devices pedal boxes steering wheels or complete dashboards working with can bus interfaces . add ons include active brake pedals seat belt loaders and vibration devices . all our simulators run on the cruden panthera software suite which integrates perfectly with existing simulator hardware and hil or sil configurations . panthera is now also available as a stand alone desktop simulator application and for use with any motion system . for more detailed information consult our software brochure . panthera uses high end physics and an excellent rendering engine . it contains controllers for motion platforms steering feedback pedals dashboard audio etc. as well as a scripting engine to define and customize the simulation . panthera simulator software features include panthera master this is the main module of the simulator system . it times and controls the simulation performs several monitoring tasks and executes interface liaison jobs for and between modules.session manager the main gui for operating the simulator . operators can set up a simulation by selecting a car road and vehicle set up . once configured a session can be controlled with a single mouse click for all hard and software modules involved.ephyse this is a generic interface package that enables the use of custom built simulation models over a network . the default implementation is based on simulink library extensions to control the configuration and state of the vehicle model that resides on the real time platform . integrating dedicated vehicle dynamics packages such as vi carrealtime ipg carmaker carsim simpack vedyna dspace asm avl vsm dymola is simple and straightforward through the ephyse module . motion cueing & control loading force feedback interface and customization.platform tracking with off board projection systems the motion platform position and orientation is tracked and the projected images adjusted accordingly . this can also be combined with head and or eye tracking.edge blending and warping a built in module that compensates for distortion when projecting onto an arbitrary shape surface . it also smoothly blends the edges of each area where projections overlap.panthera sister server for interaction with surfaces & terrains this software determines how the tire contact patch interacts with the road either by multisampling with up to 49 intersection queries per wheel or by driving directly on a dense point set with a spatial density down to 10 mm . this is done at a frequency of 1000 hz or higher without additional computational costs to the vehicle model and with a latency of less than 2 ms.spectator view tv like coverage that enables engineers and spectators to follow the vehicle from different angles or through in car camera coverage.data logging telemetry analysis for both your automotive simulator and your racing simulator vehicle performance can be evaluated as the simulator runs . the data can also be exported and loaded into various data formats including matlab or telemetry packages such as motec darab wintax or pi toolbox.panthera set up tool for cruden developed vehicle models as well as simulink compatible vehicle models engineers can change almost all vehicle settings from a gui most of which at runtime . gps tracker the live timing package of the panthera simulation environment . it shows a track map with the driver s position on the virtual track as well as sector and total times during a stint.interface to traffic and scenarios in june 2016 we launched panthera free a free version of our panthera software suite . vehicle modeling content test tracks circuits environment cruden creates content for real time simulators and has built up a library of virtual roads test and race tracks from around the world . the team has developed a skip pad with various circles at either 30 50 70 90 110 130 m or 20 40 60 80 100 120 radii as well as multiple endless highways 3 or 5 lane with various iso lane changes dual lane change iso 3888 1 configuration also known as the moose test object avoidance iso 3888 2 configuration and more . cruden can build any customer configuration . the use of full lidar scanned data provides the most accurate reliable representation . cruden takes care of the complete task from scanning the road through post processing data and applying filters to building the road model . this process requires scarce and specialist know how all contained within our in house team . screens projectors and audio cruden makes simulator systems with integrated tft displays as well as on and off board projection systems with both mono and stereo projection using various technologies available on the market infitec active shutter glasses and more . all driving simulators come with digital audio with latency as low as 8 ms. a popular choice of projection system uses an off board conical screen with a diameter of 6 8 m that facilitates the use of only three projectors for a horizontal view of more than 180 . cruden completes a projector study for every customer to optimize the layout and locations of simulator screens and projectors . cruden s customers include car manufacturers tier 1
