Dynisma believes manufacturers can reduce real driving hours and cut development time with advanced simulation technology


M


otion simulator technology company Dynisma of Bristol, UK, has developed the DMG-1 and lightweight DMG-1 Car-


bon advanced driving simulators. Collectively referred to as “Dynisma Motion Generators” (DMGs), the latest products offer a new ap- proach to motion simulation and have been designed for those who want to optimise driver and car performance as well as for ad- vanced vehicle development and testing. The breadth of capability of the DMG-1 and


DMG-1C driving simulators has been devel- oped by a team of engineers with more than two decades of experience in Formula One driving simulation. The advanced technology allows OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to conduct advanced tests, such as those for ride com- fort, handling and tyre development, in a vir- tual environment where previously they could only be accurately developed on the road. They also give the ability to carry out com- plex and extreme vehicle dynamics and ADAS (advanced driver assist systems) testing in complete safety.


On-road development reduction /// Saving development miles and reducing the


number of hand-built prototypes by using the ultra-realistic DMG-1 can dramatically reduce costs for automotive manufacturers, de- crease the environmental impact of testing and associated travel, as well as potentially shortening the time it takes to bring vehicles to market. According to Ashley Warne, CEO at Dynisma,


the company’s mission is to create the world’s most immersive simulators and widen the available access to the best high-fidelity, re- sponsive motion generators that drivers and engineers could want. Dynisma’s advanced DMG-1 technology offers a good system for a range of specific requirements that have been identified across many forms of motorsports, automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppli- ers in the automotive industry. “We know that our motion generators can have a dramatic uplift in the performance of

Simulator cuts


Dynisma’s motion generation systems offer latency below 5ms and high bandwidth for highly realistic simulation for professional vehicle development engineers


any driver or team, as well as playing a key role in making vehicle development testing far more efficient,” says Warne. “The global automotive industry currently spends £7 billion a year on prototype builds and those cars can individually rack up over half a million miles. The DMG-1 systems can re- duce the cost, carbon impact and time it takes to test vehicles, as well as allowing engineers to conduct testing in a confidential and 100 per cent safe virtual environment.”


DMG technology /// For the DMG-1 simulator, Dynisma has em-


ployed the same precise design and engi- neering process that led to the creation of its first custom-built motion simulator for a For- mula One team. Developed and built by a team of engineers committed to ground-breaking systems in motion generation, the Dynisma DMG-1C delivers the lowest latency (sub 4ms) and highest bandwidth (>55hz in all six de- grees of freedom) of any other simulator cur- rently available, according to the company.


Lower latency ensures the driver is able to


react faster to events such as oversteer, and the system’s high bandwidth facilitates mo- tion cueing not normally possible in conven- tional motion platforms. With this level of mechanical engineering and technology, the DMG-1 accurately transfers a higher level of information to the driver, providing a far more realistic and heightened responsive driving experience. Dynisma’s “Direct Drive” technology re-


duces friction to imperceptible levels, elimi- nating backlash and inertia, delivering an immediate and dynamic sensory experience. DMG-1 transmits information in the rawest possible form direct to the driver’s vestibular system. The DMG-1 and lightweight carbon compos-


ite DMG-1C are both available as turn-key products or customised to exact require- ments, with the possibility to integrate any type of chassis in current production or pro- totypes for both motorsport or automotive applications. THDx
