Adams Car facilitates the rapid development and testing of virtual prototypes for vehicles and their subsystems. Used In the automotive engineering realm, teams can efficiently evaluate designs across diverse road conditions, replicating traditional lab and track tests in a fraction of the time.  

Adams Car is widely known as the industry standard for vehicle simulation, covering kinematic and dynamic simulations for suspension, ride/handling, durability, NVH, and more. This course provides a comprehensive overview of Adams/Car, covering a range of topics from basic subsystem adjustments to advanced areas such as event and template creation, tyre selection, control system integration, and flexible body swapping.
