In this webinar, experts from Astemo and VI-grade will demonstrate how AI-MBD – a neural network-based damper model – can be combined with full-spectrum simulation to enhance chassis development workflows.

The session includes a live demonstration of the VI-grade COMPACT FSS Simulator alongside exclusive footage from Astemo’s facility, showing how hardware-in-the-loop–integrated simulators deliver real-time feedback that enables engineers to resolve subtle tuning changes with high sensitivity.

You’ll also learn how virtual proving grounds and scanned road surfaces replicate real-world inputs for more precise and repeatable damper tuning.

What you’ll learn:

  • How AI-MBD improves damper model fidelity in full-vehicle and driver-in-the-loop simulations
  • How the VI-grade COMPACT FSS Simulator enables faster, more realistic tuning through motion cueing, vibration feedback, and hardware-in-the-loop integration
  • How Astemo applies immersive simulation to evaluate fine-tuning changes, reproduce road inputs, and accelerate chassis development
