Enter the Age of Smart Iron
Off-highway equipment is transitioning from an era of raw power to one of intelligent control and efficiency.
The movement toward autonomous mobility and control has meant that off-highway equipment has become more complex—requiring more features, such as software, sensors, and driver-assistance systems. The human-machine experience is changing too, and this affects how products are sold, operated and maintained.
From the engineer’s desktop to immersive HIL simulators, Vortex Studio allows engineers to simulate and visualize equipment operation in real-time.
Create a complete 360° view of machine behaviour with virtual prototypes of off-highway equipment working in simulated field operations.
Accelerate human-factors engineering and driver feedback in your off-highway vehicle design process with immersive simulators, advanced 3D graphics and HIL simulations.
Exceed client expectations, reinforce your brand and let clients experience what’s next in off-highway equipment through Simulation—from the desktop through to total immersive solutions.
From simulation-based machine learning/AI to immersive simulators engaged in human factors engineering, Vortex Studio gives you the power to explore what’s next through the simulation of off-highway equipment.
Vortex Studio combines mechanical vehicle dynamics, earthmoving systems, cable simulation, and advanced 3D graphics with the desktop tools engineers need to enhance off-highway vehicle design and create virtual prototypes of cranes, earthmoving equipment and industrial machinery.
Simulate wheeled or tracked vehicles driving on- or off-road with advanced tire-/track-to-ground models.
Model soil mechanics and simulate tool-terrain interactions for virtual soil excavation, plowing and dumping.
Model hoisting and rigging systems from the drum to the hook, as well as tethers and towing cables.
CM Labs’ professional services team can help you accelerate your integration of Vortex Studio, improve user onboarding, and reduce the time required to embed within your enterprise.
Featuring processing optimizations, more built-in sensor extensions, a higher level of graphical fidelity, and a new, flexible subscription model, the updated Vortex Studio 2019a makes it easy for users to add Vortex Studio …
I’m proud to announce the third Vortex Studio release of the year, Vortex Studio 2018c. It’s an unusually large release, bursting at the seams with upgrades and new features. We’ve done some significant work to …
Welcome to my guided tour of the Vortex Studio interface! If you’ve never used Vortex Studio before, this tutorial will familiarise you with the Vortex Studio interface components you’ll be working with throughout your simulation …
In product development, a requirement is a physical or functional need that a particular design must fulfill. It defines the gap that a necessary or desired capability, feature or characteristic will bridge to provide value …
Plant life and other vegetation typically comprise an important visual element in realistic driver training simulations, particularly for off-road vehicles. With this in mind, Vortex Studio’s Vegetation Library allows you to add realistic trees, plants, and …
A few releases back, we added a “daylight preview” feature to the Gallery. Shortly after, we began getting user requests to allow manual re-positioning of the 3D View’s light source – the idea is that …
From mechanical modeling and scene construction to design validation, optimization and deployment, Vortex Studio fully integrates with your workflow.
