Powersoft Mover integrated into VI-grade’s automotive simulator

Italian pro-audio technologist Powersoft has joined forces with VI-grade, a provider of real-time simulation and professional driving simulator solutions. This collaboration introduces the integration of Powersoft’s haptic transducer, Mover, into VI-grade’s Compact FSS simulator.

VI-grade is a provider of software products and services, professional driving simulators and hardware-in-the-loop solutions designed to accelerate product development across the transportation industry. The company needed to upgrade the existing technology in its Compact FSS simulator with one that would be both more effective, powerful and realistic.

The Compact FSS simulator, tailored for automotive OEMs, replicates a real-life car behaviour and provides full-spectrum simulator from 0.5 Hz to 20 kHz. “The haptic feedback element provided by Mover is fundamental to completing the simulation experience, blending its vibrational contributions with those of the other shakers to cover the full range of frequencies, in all depths of field, at which the vehicle is moving”, explains Gabriele Ferrarotti, marketing director for VI-grade.

VI-grade’s internal technical team, responsible for designing, testing and certifying the simulators, first tested Powersoft’s Mover on a static version of the simulator. Their positive experience during this phase solidified their decision to integrate Mover into the new simulator model.

The partnership between Powersoft and VI-grade involved dedicated support from Powersoft’s team, who addressed challenges including space constraints in integrating Mover into Compact FSS. Along with the integration of Mover, the simulator now also uses two new Powersoft Mezzo amplifiers, replacing an old eight channel amplifier.
