IPG-CAR is a complete passenger car simulation model for investigations of vehicle dynamics. It incorporates 11 bodies, 14 degrees of freedom, and 8 force elements.
The choice of wheel suspension as well as the geometry of suspension is completely free. Spring and damping identification lines can be set by the user. Even aerodynamic influences are taken into account by IPG-CAR.
The connection to the environment is realized with a tire model and a steering, braking, and driving machine. The special open concept supports the integration in any given simulation environment. IPG-CAR has proven its efficiency in many investigations.
