VI-grade, a provider of human-centric simulation-driven vehicle development solutions, has launched AutoHawk Extreme, the most advanced configuration of its XiL simulation platform to date, powered by Concurrent Real-Time technology.
Designed for real-time multi-body simulations, AutoHawk Extreme delivers high-speed computational efficiency while maintaining a quiet, liquid-cooled design suitable for office environments.
This system supports vehicle dynamics testing — including electric vehicle (EV) powertrain modeling, battery thermal management, and high-voltage system simulations — allowing engineers to refine EV performance in real-world conditions.
Equipped with eight performance cores running at 5.0 GHz, 12 efficiency cores at 4.0 GHz, and DDR5 RAM clocked at 6000 MHz, AutoHawk Extreme improves real-time execution of computationally demanding simulations. The system’s processing capabilities enable accurate modeling of EV energy consumption, regenerative braking, and power distribution strategies.
By leveraging high-frequency performance cores and efficiency cores for secondary tasks, AutoHawk Extreme allows engineers to test complex EV architectures, including 800-V systems, without compromising simulation speed.
A key feature of AutoHawk Extreme is its liquid cooling system, which maintains stable performance by preventing thermal throttling while reducing noise levels. This enables engineers to perform EV thermal and power electronics simulations without external cooling limitations. The system’s design includes multiple PCIe slots for I/O expansion and full compatibility with PCIe expansion chassis, ensuring flexibility for future simulation requirements.
“AutoHawk Extreme provides a significant improvement in real-time simulation for vehicle development,” said Guido Bairati, Managing Director at VI-grade. “By combining computational performance with a silent, liquid-cooled design, this platform supports engineers in advancing EV and automotive simulations with greater precision and efficiency.”
AutoHawk Extreme can be used as a standalone simulation workstation or integrated with VI-grade’s driving simulators for hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing of electric powertrains and control systems. The platform is designed to meet increasing demands in vehicle development, providing reliable real-time simulation for a range of applications, including EV battery modeling, aerodynamics testing, and energy management strategies.
