Achieve pre-silicon validation

Handle complex validation tasks with ease. Use the PAVE360 digital twin to bring engineers into one environment. Accelerate your design by validating hardware and software and pre-silicon availability.

Next-generation vehicle designs are based on an intricate, complicated web of system-level interactions that need connectivity among multiple sensors, actuators, processors, electronic control units (ECUs), networks and driving scenarios. This system-of-systems validation is in addition to validation of system-on-chips (SoCs), ECUs and systems. Learn how PAVE360 handles the burden.

Why PAVE360?

Create a full vehicle system view, pre-silicon, by connecting multiple automotive clients. Break down the silos with PAVE360. Develop a shared digital twin that multiple teams can work on.

Open platform solution

Configure and connect mixed fidelity domains, protocols, systems and tools from multiple vendors. Adapt the digital twin for each phase of the vehicle design cycle.

Start with the tools you have

Connect available models and then test your system. Then, analyze the metrics to improve and iterate on your design. Make decisions faster.

Mixed-fidelity analysis

Get fast results from virtual models. Move to hybrid simulation, mixing virtual and register transfer level (RTL) code for greater accuracy. Then connect to specialist tooling for deeper analysis.

Consistent digital twin environment

Visualize full system-of-system results with in-depth performance metrics. Get a single-eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) for software, hardware and system-level development and debug.

Build the virtual car

Model SoCs, ECUs or full system-of-systems. Maintain consistency and break down silos as multiple teams work on the same digital twin.

A digital twin solution that grows with your design

A digital twin will help pave the way for the next-generation, software-defined vehicle. But what is a digital twin solution, and how can you leverage it to shift left your automotive design?

Consistent user experience

Adopt an integrated approach to multi-user, multi-domain development. Maintain consistency, generate in-depth system metrics and break down silos as multiple teams work on the same digital twin.

Engineers collaborate in a discussion about automotive design.

Early software development

Start your automotive software development before hardware is available with PAVE360 VIRTUAL. Run future automotive systems technology simulation (FASTSim) for quick results, and iterate your design for early decision making.

In a manufacturing environment, engineers discuss automotive components that are presented on a vertical display.

Refine / validate specification

Get accurate data while optimizing simulation speed with PAVE360 HYBRID mixed-fidelity features. Generate data that can be analyzed at a more-detailed level with PAVE360-compatible specialist tools, such as cycle-accurate timing, activity and power.

Multiple systems connection

Model communications protocols that use automotive standards and synchronize communication between the system elements. Connect domains, systems, protocols and tools based on automotive standards with PAVE360 BACKPLANE.

Autonomous Reference Vehicle

From Virtual-to-vehicle with PAVE360

The PAVE360 "Autonomous Reference Vehicle" is a multi client, cloud based virtual platform that uses PAVE360 to connect the real and virtual worlds. Use PAVE360 to build a digital twin of an SoC or system-of-system. Then test with real hardware to "Shift development Left"
