MTS helps Nissan evaluate
how a new damper system impacts vehicle-level performance earlier in
development and at less expense.

Nissan Motor Company sought to glean deeper insight into vehicle
subsystem performance at an earlier stage of development — even
before the availability of a vehicle prototype. Meeting this goal
would require combining the complementary strengths of
computer-aided engineering (CAE) and physical testing.
Yoichi Sakai, Head Representative for System Development at Nissan
Motor Co., discusses how his company partnered with MTS to develop
an award-winning four-corner damping system using MTS Mechanical
Hardware in the Loop™ (mHIL) technology. mHIL technology allows
mechanical systems and components to be thoroughly evaluated during
the preliminary stages of vehicle development, by placing them in
the loop of a real-time vehicle model.
