Virtual Performance Solution for Bus & Rail
Specific safety regulations have to be applied to large public service vehicles, which include any vehicle with the capacity to carry more than eight passengers.
Bus manufacturers, for instance, have leveraged the power of ESI Virtual Performance Solution (VPS) to successfully predict potential structural issues in large public service vehicles by running virtual tests for frontal crash, side crash, and roll over on a full virtual prototype (including virtual mannequins).
For railway and civil engineering designers, there is a great deal of interest in the analysis of train tracks and bridges when subjected to a moving train. Because of a train’s high speeds and axle load, various issues can arise, particularly the random vibration that occurs when train tracks interact with a bridge.

With VPS, engineers can utilize ESI’s single core model to gather unique information for various disciplines. And thanks to highly uniform structure and advance techniques, such as multi-scale modeling, VPS allows the user to consider rupture modeling for large structures such as full trains or tramways.
