Virtual prototypes, often used as a niche tool in the past, are becoming essential for developing complex systems. In fact, systems companies are finding they no longer can function without them. In ...

Chip design firm Arm Holdings Ltd. is bringing the latest generation of its central processing unit architecture to the automotive industry with the launch of its new, safety-enabled Arm Automotive ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

Virtual prototyping involves using various technologies—from computer-aided design software to simulation tools—to create highly detailed prototypes before making the physical versions. Car ...

Porsche tested the Cayenne EV virtually using AI and simulations much more than with any other previous model. This saved some 120 prototypes from being built and then subsequently destroyed through ...

As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, timely software development is becoming critical for product success. The traditional development flow—in which software design ...

Using the newly released ANSYS 16.2, engineers can now create virtual prototypes of complete systems, enabling them to make significant strides in innovation and to unleash next-generation products ...

Automotive software is becoming more expensive and central to a car’s identity. Infotainment, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), traction control, and even powertrain management are all shaped ...

Bell, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT), on May 20, announced that it had joined the U.S. Army Program Manager FLRAA office to support the demonstration of the FLRAA virtual ...

The Bluesim simulation software package provides a cycle-accurate transaction-level model from the same ESL source used to generate RTL code. The combination of Bluesim and the company's ESL synthesis ...

The electric Cayenne was the first Porsche built without early prototypes. Virtual prototypes on digital test drives did the work instead. Porsche tested the Cayenne EV virtually using AI and ...
