The plugin feeds terrain data, including surface friction, from Unreal environment into the VehicleSim math model. It will also provide the math model data to the simulation using code or blueprints. You can modify your vehicle in CarSim or TruckSim and hot reload the results in your environment. Standard output files are generated, so you can view all of the selected variable outputs in the CarSim or TruckSim plotter after a run.

The Unreal Engine is a separate download from the Epic Unreal Marketplace. Note that an Epic Games login is required to download the engine.

Each release of the Unreal Engine has a related version of the VehicleSim Dynamics Plugin available in the Marketplace. See the Unreal page in the User Section for detail on matching CarSim and TruckSim versions with Unreal Engine Versions.

The Automotive Field Guide

Epic Games has released the Automotive Field Guide, a comprehensive roadmap for integrating Unreal Engine into automotive development. 

The Guide details how companies like Toyota and Scania are making use of Mechanical Simulation’s VehicleSim Dynamics Unreal Engine Plugin. Additionally, the guide discusses how CarSim and TruckSim are used for other AV and ADAS applications. Download the Automotive Field Guide
