Systems and software collaboration

To incorporate complex software-defined vehicle features without causing program delays or budget overruns, you must maintain alignment between systems engineering, software engineering, and domain-specific engineering. By capturing requirements and targets in engineering models, you can collaborate seamlessly with stakeholders and suppliers while tracking changes in real-time. Additionally, you can rapidly iterate thousands of concept designs to discover the most efficient automotive system architecture that meets software and hardware requirements across all domains.

Continuous multi-domain simulation

Many software-defined vehicle features revolve around safety and customer experience, requiring real-time interaction across systems, subsystems, and surroundings. To achieve this, you must be able to continually adjust parameters like network communications and vehicle dynamics as the design evolves. With multi-domain simulation, you can make better engineering decisions while balancing tradeoffs like weight, cost, and driving range to ensure performance, safety, and cybersecurity.

Accelerate software-defined vehicle engineering

Development cycles are getting shorter even as automotive complexity is rising. Engineering can be accelerated by enabling the flow of information from system design to domain-specific engineering and back to system integration. This process allows you to anticipate and validate all interfaces and reduces the risk of engineering restarts by confirming that features work perfectly before physical prototypes are built. Valuable insights can also be fed back into the system design to create a cycle of improvement throughout this continuous automotive verification and validation process.
