AVL Virtual Studio

Innovate Beyond Reality
AVL Virtual Studio is a modular, real‑time virtualization platform that standardizes simulation workflows, improves system‑level integration, and enhances efficiency across SIL, HIL, and testbed environments.
Virtualization

AVL Virtual Studio is a comprehensive virtualization ecosystem that supports real‑time simulation across SIL, HIL, and various testbed environments—unlocking earlier insights, accelerating development, and providing the freedom to work with existing AVL or third‑party testing facilities, simulation models, and tools. By seamlessly combining physical and virtual testing, it enables the reuse and expansion of in‑house simulation capabilities across diverse environments, creating a flexible and future‑proof workflow for testing, validation, and agile decision‑making.

In today’s fast‑paced environment, consistent virtualization across testing systems is essential. It enables earlier validation and issue detection while streamlining development for greater efficiency. However, physical test systems, HIL, and SIL setups often operate in isolation due to incompatible toolchains. AVL Virtual Studio overcomes this challenge by providing a unified tool ecosystem that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. It harmonizes virtualization across diverse testing environments and simplifies complex hardware and software validation—delivering the flexibility and efficiency required by modern development processes.

Battery Testing Challenges

Sophisticated Virtualization Made Simple

Virtual Studio integrates smoothly into your existing toolchain, enhancing functionality without adding complexity. It delivers one comprehensive ecosystem across various testing environments—from physical testbeds to HIL to SIL—for a seamless, unified workflow.

Expanded Test Coverage, Earlier Insights

Virtual Studio brings virtualization to the various test environments, enabling a broader range of tests from complete vehicles to advanced electric powertrains. By frontloading development tasks, it delivers earlier insights and reduces the need for costly physical prototypes.

Enhanced Testing With Maximum Flexibility

Apart from offering fully integrated read-to-run vehicle simulation, with Virtual Studio, the engineering and testing responsibles also receive a powerful real-time simulation platform, that allows to leverage existing virtual assets from the simulation teams and, hence, enhance physical testbeds with the power of virtualization. 

Bring Your Simulation to Physical Real-Time Testing

AVL Virtual Studio OPEN provides an extendable real‑time environment where customers can integrate their own models—including MATLAB/Simulink, AmeSim, GT‑Power, and others. The ability to synchronize non‑real‑time (Windows-based) simulation with real‑time execution and avoiding complex compiling that dramatically reduces engineering overhead. OPEN suits advanced simulation teams that require flexibility, multi‑tool coupling, and third‑party model integration. 

Fully integrated one-click simulation

AVL Virtual Studio READY is an integrated real‑time simulation package that combines driver, driveline, vehicle, and track models directly within the AVL PUMA automation system. Designed specifically for testbed applications, it offers a true plug‑and‑play experience with minimal configuration effort. With one‑click execution and fully validated, preconfigured models, it enables fast, reliable, and scalable virtualization for test factories. It provides an ideal entry point for users seeking an effortless, ready‑to‑use simulation solution.

High-Fidelity Vehicle Simulation for Testbeds

AVL Virtual Studio DYNAMIC delivers high‑fidelity real‑time vehicle dynamics, enabling advanced testing such as variability studies, lateral dynamics, and virtual vehicle behavior on AVL PUMA as well as third‑party testbeds. It also includes dedicated simulation models for off‑road applications—covering tractors, heavy‑duty vehicles, and special‑purpose machinery—making it a powerful solution for sophisticated dynamic evaluations across diverse environments.
