Simcenter Tire 2506: feel the rain in real-time
As tire specialists, we understand the critical role that accurate tire modeling plays in virtualizing tire and vehicle developments. The upcoming release of Simcenter Tire 2506 brings a host of exciting new features designed to push the boundaries of tire simulation and testing. Let’s dive into the highlights, with a particular focus on the advancements in wet road modeling, the integration with rFPro TerrainServer, and the real-time exchange of tire model parameters.
Mastering Wet Road Modeling
One of the significant challenges in tire simulation has been accurately modeling tire behavior on wet roads. The new Simcenter MF-Tyre/MF-Swift extension addresses this challenge head-on by introducing wet road modeling capabilities. In cooperation with GCAPS (Home – Global Center for Automotive Performance Simulation), this enhancement was developed allowing precise simulation of tire performance based on factors such as water layer depth and forward velocity. The ability to accurately predict vehicle behavior on wet surfaces is a game-changer, providing invaluable insights for improving safety and performance in real-world conditions.

Seamless Interface with rFPro
The interface between Simcenter Tire 2506 and rFPro TerrainServer (Terrain Server • Road Surface Modelling • Integration • rFpro) marks another leap forward in tire simulation. Accurate prediction of tire forces requires a detailed representation of the road surface, and this new interface ensures just that. Whether for desktop, cloud simulations or real-time applications, the rFPro TerrainServer interface provides an accurate representation of road surfaces, enhancing vehicle handling and ride comfort simulations. This integration is particularly beneficial for those involved in high-fidelity driving simulations, where every detail matters.
Real-Time Tire Model Parameter Exchange
In the fast-paced world of driving simulators, the ability to change tire models during real-time simulations is crucial. Simcenter Tire 2506 introduces a robust solution to this challenge by allowing the initialization of a new tire on a separate thread and transitioning when ready. This capability ensures easy, fast, and reliable changes of tire models during simulation runtime, making it compatible with real-time applications and driving simulators. The capability directly supports Matlab/Simulink to provide our vehicle modeling partners with a familiar integration in their packages.
The 2506 release summary
The Simcenter Tire 2506 release is set to revolutionize tire simulation with its advanced features and capabilities. From mastering wet road modeling to seamless integration with rFPro and real-time tire model parameter exchange, this release offers tire specialists the tools they need to push the boundaries of innovation and performance.
