Ford is using SIMulation Workbench (SimWB) as the compute element to solve the complex chassis dynamics as represented
by a 150 DOF SIMPACK model. Only because of SimWB's ability to fully utilize the available CPU cores can such a model be
executed in real-time.
This work is being done in two dynomometer cells at their Product Engineering Center in Livonia, MI.
