Simcenter Prescan 2503: Off-the-shelf city & enhanced physics based camera for autonomous parking systems

Off-the-shelf city inspired by Detroit & Improved visual realism

Save time and effort when building a city environment with the new off-the-shelf 750×750 meter representation of the Detroit city center. With all the necessary static objects ready to go in the example folder of your Simcenter Prescan installation.

With this update, we have also enhanced the glass material of buildings and we plan many more updates, such as traffic and additional objects.

This new city environment option helps you save time and effort when setting up your simulation scenarios, allowing you to focus on your core research and development work.

off the shelf city updates include improvements to the glass windows as shown in this side by side demonstration between Simcenter Prescan versions

Enhanced Fisheye Camera with ground truth outputs for your autonomous parking system validation:

Simcenter Prescan has just rolled out a fantastic upgrade to its physics-based camera sensor. With this enhancement, you can now access additional ground truth outputs, including both occluding and non-occluding bounding rectangle corner coordinates in screen space.

These improvements cover fisheye cameras and fields of view greater than 160 degrees, a critical advancement for those involved in verifying and validating autonomous parking systems. If you’re developing in this space, these sensor model improvements enable you to generate higher-fidelity data to support the development of advanced driver assistance technologies. This innovation might just make your projects a lot smoother and more efficient!

Extended additional vehicles with high-fidelity Simcenter Amesim dynamics & improved path-following speed accuracy

Model vehicle dynamics with the new Simcenter Prescan vehicle models that come with integrated Simcenter Amesim vehicle dynamics. With Simcente Amesim enabled through the GUI or DMAPI, supporting Simulink and C⁺⁺ the new vehicle portfolio gives users more simulaiton scenario options. The Simcenter Amesim dynamics deliver greater realism and accuracy, enabling more comprehenisve insights. The new models further strengthen Prescan’s position as a comprehensive simulation platform for automotive engineering and autonomous driving development.

One of the new dynamic capabilities is the new pathfinder feature that enables you to define exact speed profiles directly in the GUI, enabling vehicles to dynamically slow down for curves. By implementing this intelligent speed profile tracking, you can create more nuanced and realistic simulation scenarios that mirror real-world driving behaviors.
