Ansys VRXPERIENCE Driving Simulator

Ansys VRXPERIENCE Driving Simulator - Now in the AVxcelerate Family

Ansys VRXPERIENCE was Ansys's virtual reality driving simulation platform for testing ADAS, headlamps, HMI and sound in a real-time 3D environment. Its capabilities have since moved into current Ansys products, and VRXPERIENCE Headlamp continues as Ansys AVxcelerate Headlamp.

If your team still runs VRXPERIENCE, we can map your use cases to the current products.

Ansys VRXPERIENCE / AVxcelerate 2026 R1

• Now AVxcelerate Headlamp: the lighting and sensors software installs under AVxcelerate Headlamp, no longer in the former VRXPERIENCE folder.
• Virtual regulation plug-ins included: the C-IASI, IIHS and FMVSS plug-ins, previously add-on packages, are now part of AVxcelerate Headlamp.
• CarMaker 14 co-simulation: co-simulation with IPG CarMaker 14.1, with sample projects, test runs, roads and assets.
