Version 5.20 Downloads

SIMON 3.13 Update - This update is only for HVE Version 5.20 users of the SIMON vehicle dynamics simulation model. It addresses the following issues: The Steer Degree of Freedom (Steer DOF) model now includes wheel precession torque. This is normally a small contributor, and tends to slightly reduce the current steer angle. Previously, the tire model was using an incorrect value for friction, cornering stiffness or camber stiffness if the current vertical tire load exceeded the rated load or the current forward tire velocity was negative. This was due to an error that occurred in the interpolation routine that was used to calculate current friction, cornering and camber stiffness from the table values in the tire data set. Adding auxilliary roll stiffness (i.e., an anti-sway bar) increased the vehicle roll angle, rather than decreasing it as expected. The problem only occurred with solid axle suspensions that used an anti-sway bar; independent suspensions were not affected. The HVE Driver Model incorrectly calculated the attempted path when more than one vehicle used the model in the same event. This would cause a vehicle to steer erratically, or to have its path affected by changing the target positions for a different vehicle. The current steering wheel angle (Driver output group) was displayed incorrectly in the Key Results or Variable Output if the vehicle had roll steer or non-zero steering geometry (e.g., king pin inclination, caster). The correct driver steering input angle was used by the simulation, but when the value was displayed it was corrupted. The updated SIMON.exe is contained in a single zip archive that must be downloaded and extracted to the appropriate folder locations. There is a set of instructions included in the zip archive. NOTE: This update is only applicable to HVE Version 5.20 installations and the user must install a new license file from EDC to complete the update.	9 July 2007
Original language.rsc File - This file is the original language.rsc file that was installed with HVE or HVE-2D version 5.20. This file can be downloaded and saved directly to the supportFiles/sys folder . NOTE: The download filename is language.rsc.520. The file will need to be renamed to just language.rsc to replace the existing file.	26 Sept 2007
EDKEY Driver Installation File - This file is the standalone installation for the EDKEY Drivers. This installation process is normally completed automatically during the installation of HVE or HVE-2D. This file is only required if EDC Technical Support specifically requests you to download, unzip and run the application to reinstall EDKEY Drivers to correct a problem with your EDKEY. NOTE: These files are only applicable to HVE version 5.20 or HVE-2D 5.20.	27 July 2007
EDKEY Driver for Windows 64-bit Installations - This file is the standalone installation for EDKEY Drivers on 64-bit systems listed below. This file is only required if EDC Technical Support specifically requests you to uninstall your existing drivers and to download, unzip and run the application to install EDKEY Drivers to correct a problem with using your EDKEY. NOTE: These files are only applicable for Windows XP-Pro 64-bit and Windows 2003 64-bit (AMD64/EM64T) installations - for Windows 64-bit Itanium, please contact EDC for assistance.	01 Feb 2007

Version 5.10 Downloads

Description	Date Posted
SIMON 3.01 Update - This update is only for HVE Version 5.10 users of the SIMON vehicle dynamics simulation model. It addresses a single issue - - In SIMON 3.00, the Soft Soil Tire-Terrain Model was calculating the tire plough force in the soil, and tire sinkage and plough force were being displayed properly in Key Results and Variable Output windows. However, the force was not included in the equations of motion. Thus, the plough force had no effect on vehicle behavior. This has been corrected in this SIMON 3.01 Update. The updated SIMON.exe is contained in a single zip archive that must be downloaded and extracted to the appropriate folder locations. There is a set of instructions included in the zip archive. NOTE: This update is only applicable to HVE Version 5.10 installations and requires the user to install a new license file from EDC.	10 June 2006
