nVIZ Ergonomics Plugin for Autodesk VRED Professional
The nVIZ Ergonomics Plugin enhances Autodesk VRED with powerful tools for immersive ergonomic evaluation in Virtual Reality. Developed in close collaboration with leading automotive OEMs, it enables realistic assessment of vehicle concepts long before physical prototypes exist.
Users can intuitively adjust seats and steering via tablet control, while virtual occupants are automatically positioned according to ergonomic standards. Integrated viewpoint simulation allows evaluation from different driver sizes, helping teams understand visibility, reachability, and comfort from multiple driver perspectives.
By connecting directly to manufacturer human factors databases and supporting efficient testing with large participant groups, the nVIZ Ergonomics Plugin accelerates design validation, reduces development costs, and enables data-driven decisions earlier in the vehicle development process.
nVIZ Motion Plugin for Autodesk VRED Professional
With a CarMaker license, users can drive the vehicle interactively in a VRED session using the nVIZ seat buck, or define predefined paths for automated driving. Path-based driving requires no additional hardware, as the internal driver model controls the vehicle and follows the route realistically. The plugin also supports loading and replaying existing CarMaker test run results in VRED, saving the motion directly to the VRED timeline. Users can then leverage VRED’s full toolset to define cameras, adjust scene settings, and render high-quality ray-traced movies.
The nVIZ plugin bridges Autodesk VRED and IPG CarMaker, combining photorealistic visualization with physically accurate vehicle dynamics. While VRED is widely used for design visualization and CarMaker for vehicle dynamics and ADAS development, the plugin enables seamless reuse of existing VRED models and CarMaker test data. Any VRED model can be connected to CarMaker via the nVIZ VTD Server, allowing vehicles to be driven in VRED without additional modeling effort.
nVIZ Perceived Quality Plugin for Autodesk VRED Professional
From Dimensional Analysis to Visual Reality
In automotive development, engineers rely on dimensional analysis tools such as 3DCS and Teamcenter Visualization Variation Analysis to evaluate gap and flush conditions. These tools are essential for ensuring production feasibility and perceived quality — but traditionally, their results remain within engineering environments.
Bridging Engineering and Visualization
The nVIZ Perceived Quality Plugin changes that. It allows you to import dimensional analysis data directly from 3DCS or Teamcenter Visualization VSA into Autodesk VRED.
Even more powerful:
Our smart morphing algorithms automatically deform the CAD geometry in the VRED scene according to the calculated gap and flush variations.
This means:
✔️ Realistic visualization of min/max conditions
✔️ Immediate understanding of perceived quality impacts
✔️ Better cross-functional communication between engineering, design, and management.
From tolerance simulation to immersive visualization — all in one workflow.
