Michelin SiMiX: THE REAL DEAL, ONLY BETTER
SiMiX Engineering is a Michelin Group initiative that explores the potential of engineering services aimed squarely at the design of land vehicles.
While developing tires designed specifically for car manufacturers’ vehicles, Michelin has gained extensive expertise in understanding how chassis behave.
Michelin’s simulation tools are revolutionizing the approach to vehicle design, providing solutions to improve performance, shorten development times and reduce prototyping costs.
With SiMiX Engineering, Michelin is now ready to offer these skills more widely to new partners.

Benjamin Workshop’s GT40 receives the full SiMiX treatment
First use case for our chassis development know-how, in collaboration with the Benjamin Workshop channel.
SiMiX offered Benjamin its vehicle design engineering service to optimize the GT40’s on-track performance.
The expertise of Michelin’s engineers and drivers helped deliver a high level of performance, but the approach was made even more effective by adding simulation to the process.
Diagnosis and definition of vehicle dynamics targets
Bench testing and modeling for fast-track development on simulator
Adjustments, fine-tuning and on-track validation
