SIM platform extends the capabilities of
simulators to mimic more complex cyber-
physical systems combining multiply machine
physics, intelligence and human cognition. It
has been active in several projects, such as
DigiPro (Digital Product Processes through
Physics Based Real-Time Simulation), funded
by Business Finland. DigiPro project had
collaboration with companies, such as Kone,
Mantsinen, Kesla, Valtra, Rocla, Norrhydro,
Mevea, Sandvik, and Raute. We are constantly
seeking industrial partners to guide continuous
development so that we can offer a solution
that is well-suited to fulfill your needs and
advance your goals!
SIM Platform in brief:
Ongoing, funded, development projects.
Develop techniques and toolsets needed in the areas of simulator-driven design.
Actively searching for partners.

Simulation
Unique method
Simulator-driven, physics based simu-
lation of complex mobile machines.
Real-time multibody simulation helps
to create complex models that inlcude
use of hydraulics, contact and tire mo-
dels, interaction with particle systems
etc.).
Provides monolithic as well as co-
simulation approach.
Utilizes design approach in which the
concept of gamification is combined
with a multibody dynamic system.
Customer oriented product develop-
ment approach.
System benefits
Digital-Twin models for product
testing and service business.
A test environment for new solutions
such as IoT and smart materials.
Improves product and production pro-
cess sustainability.
Promotes customer value with real-
time multibody simulation.
The offering
What do we offer?
A toolset that allows multiple stakeholders
to access machine research and develop-
ment through virtual worksites providing
fully configurable, real-time, virtual proto-
typing.
New processes and procedures to im-
prove design and manufacturing.
Provide community-based, real-time,
simulation to increase customer value.
Visibility and accessibility to multiple
sectors.
Extension of the simulator aided design
from a single machine to entire produc-
tion systems.
