Version 2023 Downloads

Description
Date Posted
Version 2023 - This version contains several new enhancements and updates for HVE and HVE-2D, and HVE-CSI users:
  • Search your vehicle databases to quickly find the vehicle you want.
  • Use the Vehicle Wizard for any vehicle. 
  • Translate, rotate, and scale your vehicle geometry in the Vehicle Editor. 
  • Quickly refresh your vehicle geometry file if a change was made outside of HVE.

There have been several other user interface improvements, including the height of the Variable Selection dialog for Key Results and Variable Output, the height of the Driver Controls dialogs and table entries, and the size and colors used in the Variable Output graph.

2-D programs will automatically run in Total Mass mode and 3-D programs will automatically run in Sprung Mass mode. Regardless of the setting in HVE, the program will run in the correct mode behind the scenes! Why leave the setting at all? This allows you to enter and review data in either mode, which is especially helpful in the vehicle editor.

SIMON and DYMESH have numerous enhancements:

  • The tires and wheels can interact with the environment using DyMESH. Potential uses include tire / wheel impacts during rollovers and curb strikes.
  • The DyMESH wheel damage option has a start time per wheel. 
  • The wheel can be manually moved when the DyMESH damage option is being used. 
  • The Radial Spring tire model option has a start time per wheel. 

Read the accompanying Release Notes for a complete description of the changes.
